Research Topics

  • The regional climatic impact of dust and biomass burning aerosol on thermodynamic and dynamics of Monsoon systems (West Africa, India) as well as particular sea basins (Mediterranean, Caspian).
  • The direct and semi-direct effects of African biomass burning aerosol on southern African climate and the south eastern Atlantic stratocumulus deck. Example BBA/WAM here.
  • The tropospheric chemistry over Africa in connection with the regional nitrogen cycle, including the impact of biogenic emissions and climate change.
  • The processes impacting the emission and deposition flux of key chemical elements to marine and terrestrial ecosystems (North Pacific Ocean, West Africa and the Mediterranean basin).
  • Other topics such as pollen health/climate interactions modelling, biogenic emissions, and forest canopy modelling.
