Atmospheric Science
Atmospheric science studies the Earth's atmosphere and its various inner-working physical processes, specifically focusing on greenhouse gas concentrations and radiative forcing.
Core Research Areas
Radiative Forcing
Calculating the imbalance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing infrared.
Aerosol Influence
Studying both the cooling and seeding effects of atmospheric particulate matter.
Climate Modeling
Using supercomputers to project RCP and SSP emission scenarios.
Carbon Sinks
Mapping the efficiency of land and ocean buffers in CO2 absorption.
