The Atmospheric Chemistry Research Group (ACRG) is a team of atmospheric modellers, aiming better understand the air that surrounds us. The chemistry of the gases and particles present in ambient air is a hugely important field of research. If we are to discover new pathways which can reduce air pollution and combat climate change, we require a detailed understanding of atmospheric chemistry.
To study atmospheric chemistry, we must utilise three different approaches to study atmospheric chemistry:
-
Laboratory studies surrounding the physio-chemical properties of atmospheric constituents
-
Observations of the abundance and variability of these
-
Numerical model simulations that integrate our understanding of the sources and fate of these compounds in order to test hypothesis on how they may change under different conditions.
