(author), Mignan, A. (author)Recent natural disasters that seriously affected critical infrastructure (CI) with significant socio-economic losses and impact revealed the need for the development of reliable methodologies for vulnerability and risk assessment. In this paper, a risk-based multi-level stress test method that has been recently proposed, aimed at enhancing...article 2020

(author), Spindler, G. (author), Lelieveld, J. (author), Tegen, I. (author), Su, H. (author), Wiedensohler, A. (author)Natural sea-salt aerosols, when interacting with anthropogenic emissions, can enhance the formation of particulate nitrate. This enhancement has been suggested to increase the direct radiative forcing of nitrate, called the "massenhancement effect". Through a size-resolved dynamic mass transfer modeling approach, we show that interactions with...article 2020

(author)In the context of the STREST project (http://www.strest-eu.org/), an engineering multi-level risk-based methodology to stress test critical non-nuclear infrastructures has been developed. This paper summarizes the STREST framework and its exploratory application to six key representative Critical infrastructures in Europe, exposed to variant...conference paper 2018

(author), Wiedensohler, A. (author)Sea salt aerosol (SSA) is one of the major components of primary aerosols and has significant impact on the formation of secondary inorganic particles mass on a global scale. In this study, the fully online coupled WRFChem model was utilized to evaluate the SSA emission scheme and its influence on the nitrate simulation in a case study in Europe...article 2016
