Biography
My research focuses on the processing and transport of trace gases and aerosols in the atmosphere, and their interactions with the Earth’s biosphere & climate system. This research is key to improving our understanding of changes in present-day and future climate & air quality. I am interested in better understanding the intimate coupling between atmospheric chemistry, climate and the biosphere. I use numerical models in conjunction with observations from aircraft, satellites and surface sites to investigate these fundamental processes.
