Summary

 

RESEARCH GROUP

The Global Climate and Environmental Change Team is part of the Space and Atmospheric Physics Group in the Department of Physics. The team works on a variety of topics involving the use of large datasets in order to explore key processes in the global environment, with a primary emphasis on global climate modelling, interactions between atmospheric composition and climate, and the role of wildfires in the Earth systemGroup 1The Global Climate and Environmental Change Team (as of October 2019): (upper) Alexander Kuhn-Regnier, Apostolos Voulgarakis, Carl Thomas, Adriana Ford, Chris Wells; (lower) Peer Nowack, Matt Kasoar, Yawei Qu, Laura Mansfield.

Group 2The Global Climate and Environmental Change Team (as of November 2019): Adriana Ford, Sunil Varma, Laura Mansfield, Peer Nowack, Matt Kasoar, Carl Thomas, Apostolos Voulgarakis, Chris Wells, Alexander Kuhn-Regnier, Yawei Qu.
