Environmental Chemistry Atmospheric Field Studies Instrument Development Aerosols & Clouds Planetary Atmospheres Trace Gases & Radicals

My interests are in the area of heterogeneous atmospheric chemistry, focusing on the chemical, physical and optical properties of atmospheric particulate. In addition to fundamental studies of particles, we are also exploring how atmospheric particulate impacts current problems such as stratospheric ozone depletion, global climate change, urban smog and visibility degradation. In addition to studies of atmospheric aerosols on current-day Earth, we are also probing the particles that might have been present at the earliest times in Earth’s history. We are interested in how those particles might have impacted the climate of early Earth and the development of life on Earth. As a parallel to early Earth, we are also studying aerosols and clouds on other planetary bodies such as Mars, Venus and Titan. Our work is primarily laboratory based, but involves collaborations with theory teams and those involved in observations and fieldwork. Primary support for our work comes from the National Science Foundation and NASA.
