My research is at the intersection of climate sciences, stable isotope geochemistry, and atmospheric chemistry. A major goal of my research work is to leverage stable isotopes and analytical chemistry as powerful tools, to enhance our understanding of the how greenhouse gases and other trace gases behave in the atmosphere, and their roles in affecting global climate and regional air quality.
ATOC 3500 - Air Chemistry and Pollution
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2024
Examines the composition of the atmosphere and sources of gaseous and particulate pollutants: their chemistry, transport and removal from the atmosphere. Applies general principles to acid rain, smog and stratospheric ozone depletion. Recommended prerequisite: one semester of college-level chemistry or one year of high school chemistry. Same as CHEM 3151.
ATOC 5151 - Atmospheric Chemistry
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2023
Reviews basic kinetics and photochemistry of atmospheric species and stratospheric chemistry with emphasis on processes controlling ozone abundance. Tropospheric chemistry focusing on photochemical smog, acid deposition, oxidation capacity of the atmosphere and global climate change. Recommended prerequisite: one semester of college-level chemistry. ATOC graduate core course. Same as CHEM 5151.
