Atmospheric processes have a major influence on the emissions and transport of natural aerosol species such as mineral dust, marine aerosols, and forest fire aerosols. Interactions between aerosol emissions, transport, and deposition and meteorology or climate processes are investigated on a regional and global scale using modeling methods.
Our research focuses on the following key topics
