Research Focus: My primary research interests are: 1) Improving our understanding of the role of oceanic processes in regulating the atmospheric abundance of trace species important to climate change and air quality (e.g. halocarbons, sulfur compounds, alkyl nitrates, etc.), and 2) Assessing the potential for feedbacks between climate change and these oceanic processes. I use laboratory and field measurements along with numerical modeling to investigate the air/sea exchange and the biogeochemical cycling of these important trace species. The analytical techniques used in my lab include gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The models used range from local marine boundary layer photochemical box models to global oceanic uptake models.
