    Research Interests

    The objective of my research group is to utilize science to inform the development of far-sighted air quality policy. We explore linkages between air pollution and health, energy, and climate change. Recent research projects have examined the impacts of air pollution on agriculture and health in China, inter-continental transport of air pollutants, environmental consequences and alternatives to nitrogen oxide emissions trading, regional attribution of ozone production and associated radiative forcing to emissions from specific regions of the world, and the benefit that methane emission controls can have on reducing background ozone concentrations and reducing associated impacts on human health and climate change.
