The composition of the atmosphere is affected by human activities:  fossil fuel use, industry, agricultural practices, wood burning, deforestation, changes in land use, etc.  My research group uses global models and analyses of atmospheric data to improve our understanding of the processes affecting atmospheric composition and climate, and the changes wrought by human activity.

At Harvard I collaborate with Daniel Jacob in the development of the GEOS-Chem model and with Loretta Mickley.

I am part of the TES Science Team, and I am analyzing the TES data for tropospheric ozone and CO.

Other current research interests include the effects of boreal fires on atmospheric composition, analysis of MISR data for injection heights of fire plumes; the effects of fires in a future climate on air quality; hindcasts of recent atmospheric composition; trends in ozone. More details can be found on my research page, and broader activities using the GEOS-Chem model can be found here.
