Research Interests: Improving the understanding of processes that are important to climate, air quality and weather prediction

Research Interests: Laboratory and field studies to investigate aerosol-cloud interactions relevant for climate, visibility and human health

Research Interests: Global aerosol modeling, regional air quality forecasting, land surface modeling

Research Interests: Surface exchange processes. How heat, momentum, and trace gases (e.g., CO2) are transferred between the earth's surface and the atmosphere

Research Interests: Climate change alters the radiation, temperature, sea surface pressure, and precipitation distributions, and also forces terrestrial vegetation and ecological systems to adapt. Great attention has being paid to potential aerosol impacts on cloud microphysical and radiative properties, as the indirect effect of aerosols currently produces the greatest uncertainty in climate predictions among all known climate forcing mechanisms. Large climate feedback uncertainties limit the accuracy in predicting the response of Earth´s climate to the atmospheric CO2 increase.
