Research Abstract
Ecological climatology is the study of interactions between the terrestrial environment and climate. Our research focuses on the complex interaction involving the biological production, release, and ultimate fate of gaseous organic molecules emitted from plants and microbes. These molecules have many important influences on atmospheric processes, such as playing a role in the production of cloud precursors called atmospheric aerosol. Some of the questions we seek to to answer include how emission rates of specific organic molecules called terpenes are evolving in a changing climate, if some climate change stressors alter organic emissions more than others, and how will the altered emissions influence the production of atmospheric aerosol. This research is conducted with complementary laboratory, field, and modeling experiments.
