Bio
I am an atmospheric scientist focused on the role of aerosols in the climate system. My main focus is stratospheric aerosol, mostly from volcanic eruptions but also from pollution, forest fires, and geoengineering, i.e. human intervention in the climate system to offset the impacts of climate change.
