Atmospheric Chemistry, Air Quality, and Climate Change
The Li research group studies atmospheric chemistry in the boundary layer as well as the interactions between air quality and climate change. The importance of our work, which entails the development and application of sophisticated atmospheric models, is in advancing our understanding of the chemical and physical processes of key air pollutants and their changes under future climate. Our research products are of great utility to environmental managers and especially the health impacts community.
Our research areas include:
- High-resolution modeling of urban air quality
- Trends in wildfire and dust in response to 21st century climate
- Atmospheric chemistry in the fire smoke polluted boundary layer
- Trace gas-aerosol-cloud interactions
- Changes in greenhouse gas emissions and air quality co-benefits
