Atmospheric science

The constellation in atmospheric science consists of researchers with backgrounds in chemistry and environmental physics. Our atmospheric science constellation is unique in Sweden in that it takes a molecular approach to transport and reaction processes in the atmosphere.

A unifying research theme is the study of aerosols, and the activities range from fundamental studies of chemical reactions on the molecular level, to applied work including field studies of atmospheric processes. In addition to the fundamental interest, these studies are of key importance to current climate and air quality research and contribute to developments in the fields of colloidal chemistry, nanotechnology and medicine.

The atmospheric science group is active in inter and transdisciplinary research exemplified with hosting an adjunct Professor from IVL Environmental Research Institute and being a strong partner within the Gothenburg Atmospheric Science centre, www.chalmers.se/gmv/gac-en/
