Atmospheric Chemistry (Prof. Colette L. Heald)

The Atmospheric Chemistry group, led by Prof. Colette Heald, investigates the composition and chemistry of the global atmosphere and how these impact and interact with air pollution, climate change, and ecosystem health.

We use observations of the atmosphere from all scales (in situ to satellite) with global models of chemistry and climate to study these questions. We will also be developing a field program to measure biosphere-atmosphere fluxes of reactive species. Research led by Dr. Uli Krieger uses single particle levitation techniques to study aerosol properties.
