Our Lab Directly Detects Biological Particles in High-Altitude Ice Clouds for the First Time

A paper published in Nature Geoscience "In situ detection of biological particles in cloud ice-crystals," shows results from the Aircraft-ATOFMS used to chemically identify the chemistry of ice-cloud crystals in high altitude clouds. This is the first direct detection of biological particles, internally mixed with dust, in ice clouds. Here is more information.
