Aerosol-Cloud-Climate Interactions Lab
Our research group focuses on understanding the physics and properties of clouds and their role in the Earth's climate system. A key aspect of our work is investigating how aerosols, whether natural or human-made, influence cloud properties and, in turn, affect the climate. We use a combination of advanced tools, including satellite observations, cloud simulations, and Lagrangian trajectory modeling. By integrating these methods, we aim to provide a deeper understanding of the complex interactions between clouds, aerosols, and the climate.
