Role: Project Lead

Jim has interests that include in-situ and remote sensing measurements of atmospheric aerosols and modelling their impacts upon weather, air-quality, visibility and climate. He has led many aircraft-based measurement campaigns investigating the impacts of Saharan dust over West Africa, biomass-burning smoke over West and South Africa, and volcanic aerosols from the Eyjafjallajokull eruption. Modelling work includes assessment of the climate impact of various different anthropogenic and natural aerosols, and the impacts of hypothetical schemes to counter global warming.
