Professor
Kristie A. Boering is interested in photochemical processes that
alter the isotopic compositions of chemically and radiatively important
trace gases in the atmosphere, such as O3, CO2, N2O, and CH4, are
investigated through laboratory experiments, numerical modeling,
and measurements from aircraft and high-altitude scientific balloons.
In addition to unraveling the underlying physical chemistry of isotope
fractionation in a complex, highly coupled chemical system such
as the earth's atmosphere, these studies also provide information
on dynamical and transport processes in the atmosphere. Quantifying
both chemistry and transport is critical for understanding the chemical
composition of the present-day atmosphere, for interpreting chemical
records of paleoclimate (including the isotopic compositions of
gases trapped in ice), and for predicting the response of the atmosphere
to natural or anthropogenically-forced changes in composition and/or
temperature. |
