Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry

My research group's main interests are in the interaction among clouds, aerosols, and climate. Clouds are important to a number of key climate processes, such as precipitation, the Earth's energy balance, biogeochemical cycles, and atmospheric transport. They are also amongst the most poorly understood components of the climate system, and thus pose serious limitations on our ability to predict how Earth's climate may change in the future.
