Within the Solomon group at MIT, we focus on interactions between chemistry and climate, at both poles of the Earth as well as the tropics. Applications for new graduate students will be considered.

​​

A selection of current projects includes:

- Probing heterogeneous and gas-phase chemistry of wildfire smoke.

- Evaluating and understanding the healing of the Antarctic ozone hole as well as other regions.

- Quantifying emissions of chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons, including those from refrigeration, air conditioning, and insulation foam, as well as from chemical feedstocks and by-products.

- Ocean-atmosphere interactions.

- Influences of volcanoes on the chemistry, climate, and radiative properties of the Earth’s atmosphere.
