Emissions

Gases and particles are emitted into the atmosphere from a wide range of sources, from tailpipes to trees. Understanding what drives these emissions and how they respond to changes in climate and human activity is a key area of atmospheric chemistry.

Air Quality

Once emitted into the atmosphere, gases and particles in the atmosphere undergo complex chemical transformations and these pollutants can be transported great distances down-wind, impacting air quality both locally and intercontinentally.

READ MORE

Climate

Gases and particles in the atmosphere interact with radiation and clouds to fundamentally alter the Earth’s climate. In turn, the climate can drive changes in atmospheric composition and global biogeochemical cycles.

Ecosystem Impacts

What goes up must come down! The atmosphere can transport both chemical nutrients and toxic substances far from sources, impacting ecosystem health around the world.

Policy

The science of atmospheric chemistry is of critical relevance to the sphere of policy and regulation, where it can be harnessed to effectively protect human and environmental welfare.
