Current Research:

My research is interdisciplinary, involving both atmospheric chemistry and environmental science. I measure the exchange (i.e., emission and deposition) of gases and particles between the air and land in coastal and agricultural ecosystems. Many of my measurement studies focus on ammonia (NH3), the most abundant basic gas in the atmosphere and an important part of the biogeochemical cycle. The data collected from these studies is used to improve estimates of air pollution and provide information about the potential impact on human health and the environment.
