Our most significant work on marine aerosols has been published in the journal Nature in 2004 and numerous articles in Geophysical Research Letters. My other novel idea is using carbon isotopes for the advance source apportionment of carbonaceous aerosols simultaneously using stable and radiocarbon isotopes. During my career I developed excellent collaborative skills and continued collaboration with my former Lithuanian colleagues. The research excellence and collaborative efforts have been recognized with the Lithuanian National Science Award in 2011, the most prestigious award in Lithuania and the Award for Outstanding Lithuanian Scientists in 2015. I published 100+ peer-review papers to-date and I am among the top 1% of cited authors in the Geosciences discipline in Clarivate Analytics ISI Web of Science database with 2000+ total citations in the last decade.
