Keutsch Group
Our research article "A fully coupled solid-particle microphysics scheme for stratospheric aerosol injections within the aerosol–chemistry–climate model SOCOL-AERv2" has been published in Geoscientific Model Development in November 2024.
Our research article "Microphysical Interactions Determine the Effectiveness of Solar Radiation Modification via Stratospheric Solid Particle Injection" has been published in Geophysical Research Letters in October 2024.
Congratulations to Dr. Yaowei Li for successfully defending his thesis in front of a packed audience on April 23, 2024! This fall Yaowei will be working with Prof. Susan Solomon (MIT) and Prof. Paul Wennberg (Caltech) as a NOAA Climate & Global Change postdoc fellow. See the announcement from NOAA here.
We are a team of interdisciplinary atmospheric scientists and engineers. Our research efforts aim to understand the effects of natural and anthropogenic emissions on climate and human health and on aerosol-biosphere-climate interactions. Using innovative experimental design and instrument development, we combine laboratory studies, observations, and modeling to obtain a holistic view of chemistry-climate interactions in local and global contexts.
Field Work
High altitude aircraft (WB-57) in Fairbanks, AK, carrying a payload designated to measuring stratospheric aerosols.
Laboratory Experiments
Laser-induced fluorescence used in our lab to measure ppt concentrations of formaldehyde.
Modeling
Ozone depletion due to the La Soufrière eruption in 2021 modeled using SOCOL-AER.
