Current Fields of Interest

Regional and global climate modeling; parameterization of terrestrial and marine organic aerosol emissions for regional air quality and global circulation models; global scale modeling of micronutrient transport (with the emphases on bioavailable iron) to the oceans using 3-D chemistry transport models; Evaluation of the human impact on marine ecosystem productivity and carbon cycle; measurements of trace gas emissions from different phytoplankton species; Application of remotely sensed data (MODIS, MISR, CALIPSO) for exploring potentially important interactions between marine aerosols, ocean productivity, clouds and climate
