Research

· Remote sensing of atmospheric composition, including ozone, aerosols, water vapor, and other trace gases, to monitor ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), assess ozone-layer recovery, and track key atmospheric pollutants

· Greenhouse gas (GHG) budget estimation using observational datasets and inverse modeling techniques to quantify global and regional GHG sources and sinks, support GHG verification efforts, and inform effective climate-mitigation strategies.

· Homogenization and analysis of long-term satellite data records to enhance climate models and deepen understanding of climate variability and long-term atmospheric trends.
