Cambridge Centre for Climate Science

• Chemistry-climate interactions in the Asian Summer Monsoon
• The Borneo Vortex and its links to composition
• The past and future evolution of the stratospheric ozone layer
• Unintended consequences of solar radiation management

I am coordinating the Cambridge contribution and exploitation of UMUKCA. This work includes the continuous confrontation of model results with observations.
