Olga L. Mayol-Bracero is a Puerto Rican atmospheric scientist at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.[1] She is also the DOE ARM Lead Mentor of the Aerosol Observing Systems. She is a former associate professor at the UPRRP College of Natural Sciences.[2] Her primary research focus is atmospheric aerosols. She researches the temporal and spatial variability of atmospheric aerosols; chemical, physical, and optical properties of atmospheric aerosols (African dust, biomass burning, marine, urban, biogenic) with particular interest in tropical regions; size-resolved aerosols composition and sources; carbonaceous aerosols (organic and black carbon); aerosols-clouds-precipitation interactions; air quality; the impact of atmospheric aerosols on degradation of structures.
