Hobbies

I have always had many interests. These " hobbies" are what got me going in science.. In my opinion hobbies are an important and fundamental part of living!!
 

Research Interests

My current interests are mainly directed at the so-called secondary aerosol effect on climate: the possibility that cloud microphysics, hence the climate, may change as a result of disturbances to the CLOUD CONDENSATION NUCLEI.
