Atmospheric Chemistry

 

The atmospheric chemistry subgroup investigates high-latitude chemical reactivity through a combination of field and laboratory studies. We work closely with the aerosol, radiation, meteorology groups in these studies. The listings below describe some current research foci. Follow the links to investigate these projects further. Interested students should investigate our excellent research and education opportunities.

Cathy Cahill

Investigates the chemistry of atmospheric aerosols through field and laboratory studies. She is currently investigating the size and composition of particles entering the Arctic from other regions of the globe.

Nicole Mölders

Employs chemistry transport models to examine the interaction between the trace gas, water and energy cycles.

Glenn Shaw

Investigates atmospheric aerosols and cloud physics. He is interested in global climate change issues and long range transport.

Bill Simpson

Investigates Arctic radical chemistry through field measurements of trace gases and reactive radicals. Developing laser-based instruments using cavity ring-down spectroscopy and tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy. Active projects include development of a NO3 sensor using visible diode laser absorption, and balloon-based sensing of ozone and carbon monoxide.
