Interactions Between Climate and Regional Air Quality in the U.S.
Interactions Between Climate and Regional Air Quality in the U.S.: How Changing Climate May Affect Smog and How Cleaning Up Smog May Affect Climate
Loretta J. Mickley – Senior Research Fellow, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University
Loretta Mickley co-leads the Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling Group at Harvard. Her research focuses on chemistry-climate interactions in the troposphere. She seeks to understand how short-lived gases and particles affect climate and how climate, in turn, influences atmospheric composition. Key topics:
- Effects of climate change on smog episodes and wildfires.
- Impacts of aerosol trends on regional climate.
- Oxidation capacity of paleo atmospheres.
