Understanding human and natural influences on atmospheric chemistry: Implications for climate, air quality, and health
Section A
, Location 14
Dylan Millet’s research seeks to understand the sources, atmospheric transformations, and impacts of key gases affecting air pollution, human and ecosystem health, and climate. His work ranges from polluted urban areas to remote environments, and helps untangle the roles of human activities versus natural processes in determining the chemical properties of Earth’s atmosphere. He combines in-situ measurements, satellite observations, and atmospheric modeling to advance scientific knowledge for more accurate air quality and climate predictions.
