EXPERTISE
FIELDS OF INTEREST
I'm at atmospheric chemist interested in longer-lived trace gases and the processes that drive how much of these gases we see in the atmosphere. I'm interested in ecosystem interactions with the atmosphere in Arctic, Boreal, mid-latitude and urban environments. Recently I've been leading the development of a measurement network for CO2 and methane around New York City.
