Research

 

We are interested in understanding the climate effects of aerosols that are naturally present in the atmosphere such as sea salt and biomass burning particles. We further want to study how the properties of these aerosols change after reacting with anthropogenic (man-made) pollutants to better understand the human effect on global climate change.
