Atmospheric aerosol formation, transformation and climate effects, air quality, climate air quality interactions, air-sea exchange, biogeochemical cycling. Measurements and modeling of aforementioned themes: ground based, ship based and aircraft based measurements using a range of aerosol samplers (including mass spectrometry, ground based remote sensing such as LIDAR, cloud-RADAR, profilers etc); and sophisticated modeling systems from process models up to climate models.
