Micrometeorology and greenhouse gas fluxes

We aim to quantify the spatiotemporal variability of greenhouse gas sources/sinks in coastal ecosystems and to understand key processes controlling the gas exchange at the air-water interface. We use fixed and mobile atmospheric flux towers, equipped with eddy covariance systems for measuring surface fluxes of momentum, energy (sensible and latent heat) and gases (CO₂, CH₄, COS).

Aerosol-climate feedbacks

We aim to understand how the coastal/marine environment contributes to the formation of atmospheric aerosol by quantifying the emissions of precursors, their atmospheric chemistry, and the mechanisms through which they form particles. We combine measurements of gas phase species, mainly utilizing chemical ionization mass spectrometry, with detailed aerosol size distributions down to the smallest clusters.
