Research interests

I am interested in ground-based and airborne remote sensing of atmospheric composition, with a primary focus on measuring greenhouse gases. Amongst other projects, I am currently working on establishing a new UK-wide network of ground-based spectrometers for greenhouse gas observations – GEMINI-UK – which will contribute data towards improved estimates of the UK’s carbon emissions.
