Greetings! I am a research scientist at NASA GSFC. My work focuses on how human activities and natural processes influence the chemical makeup of our atmosphere. To appreciate why this is important, do the following:

1) look at the sky.

2) take a deep breath.

We are surrounded by Earth's atmosphere. Though we (usually) can't see the gases and particles therein, these minor constituents determine the quality of the air we breathe and affect the evolution of Earth's climate. The composition of our atmosphere influences all living things and is heavily influenced, for good or ill, by human activities. Sound policy choices require a robust understanding of processes and interactions. This is the foundation for atmospheric chemistry research.
