Atmospheric Chemistry

Atmospheric chemistry studies the composition, reactions and processes of the earth's atmosphere. It studies the interactions of various gases, particles and radiation that affect climate, air quality and ozone depletion. Key components include understanding the sources and sinks of atmospheric pollutants, such as greenhouse gases and aerosols, and their effects on human health and ecosystems. Atmospheric chemistry research plays a key role in shaping environmental policy and mitigating the effects of air pollution and climate change. Advanced analytical techniques and modeling help unravel complex atmospheric dynamics, help predict future atmospheric conditions, and inform mitigation strategies..
