Research Description

Professor Jingqiu Mao Headshot

The chemical composition of Earth’s atmosphere is changing rapidly as a result of human activity and natural variability, with implications ranging from air pollution, to human and ecosystem health, and to climate change. My research has aimed to improve and advance the scientific understanding of interactions between atmospheric chemistry, biogeochemistry, and climate to enable better predictions of the changing climate and air quality, leading to better adaptation and mitigation strategies for these changes. We use field/lab measurements, global modeling and satellite observations, to understand the evolution in time and space of the trace gas and aerosol composition of the atmosphere.
