Research Focus
We are eager to better understand emissions, transport, chemical processes, and deposition of the important chemical species existing in the atmosphere with novel instrumentation, computer modeling, and field observations. The main targets are trace gases and aerosols relevant to climate change and air pollution, and the main domain includes the troposphere and the stratosphere.
