The Atmospheric Chemistry and Aerosol cluster investigates the processes that control atmospheric composition and their interactions with climate, aiming to deepen our understanding of how these dynamics shape the Earth system.
A key focus is on the fundamental role that aerosols and clouds play in regulating the planet’s climate, with the goal of enhancing the accuracy of weather and climate models. Additionally, the research explores the complex interactions between the biosphere and atmosphere, particularly how human activities are altering these natural systems and contributing to broader environmental change.
We uses diverse methods from molecular to global scale including laboratory studies, ground-, satellite- and aircraft-based measurements, data analysis, and numerical modelling.
Colleagues interested in working with us are encouraged to look at the group pages below to identify potential collaborators or speak with the cluster lead (Professor Martyn Chipperfield) if you can’t find the people you’re looking for.
