Christopher N. Rapp's recent work focuses on atmospheric aerosols and ice-nucleating particles, including how airborne particles form clouds and ice at high-altitude sites, and how air quality changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier publications in this record concern retina neuroscience (cell connectivity in the eye), suggesting a shift in research focus over time, or a co-authored dataset from a different phase of training. The atmospheric science work involves field measurements at mountaintop laboratories using specialized instruments to track ice-forming particles and cloud condensation nuclei.
