About the author: Todd Sanford is a climate scientist with expertise in the atmospheric chemistry and physics of the climate system. NUI Galway's Professor Colin O'Dowd was in London last week to collect the Appleton Medal, awarded to him by the Institute of Physics for his 'distinguished research in environmental and atmospheric physics'. Shaw came to Lamont-Doherty last fall from New York University and has joint appointments with Columbia's Earth & Environmental Sciences and Applied Physics & Applied Mathematics departments. She studies the history and causes of climate change in the Earth's past. Two sooty accounts of PNNL scientists were the first to show how a layer of soot on snow increased the surface air temperature between 0.1 and 1.0°C over the majority of the snow-covered areas in the western United States. Reduction in air pollution from coal fired power stations due to environmental regulations since the 1980s has increased regional global warming in the Central and Eastern United States. The risk climate change poses to harmful ozone levels has also been highlighted in the “Human Health” chapter of the recent draft National Climate Assessment report. They considered three main drivers of air pollution: 1) short-lived air pollutants (such as sulphate and various carbon aerosols) emitted from human activities and biomass burning; 2) climate change and 3) increasing Increased concentrations of methane during the industrial period have been highly influential on atmospheric chemistry and have contributed to increases in O3 concentrations of 4.3 ppbv, or about 15% of the total increase in O3 levels during this time. Raymo joined Lamont this summer from Boston Fiore is an atmospheric chemist studying the interplay between climate change and air pollution levels.

The peer-reviewed research by Qing-Bin Lu, a professor of physics and astronomy, biology and chemistry at Waterloo University, was published in the International Journal of Modern Physics B.

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 11, 1929-1948. Thanks to the Clean Air Act, studies and measurements. The findings of Reaction and Greenhouse Effect of Halogenated Molecules: Culprits for Atmospheric Ozone Depletion and Global Climate Change - are at odds with the consensus view that climate change is driven by increasing concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere. For example, extreme cold and snow in southern locales is usually due to a southern bulge in the circumpolar vortex, bringing the chilly air down from Alaska and Canada into the lower 48 states.

Department of Energy's Office of Science has provided greater definition to the role of black carbon in climate change. Even though an individual severe weather event cannot be blamed on Global Warming, a warmer climate “juices” the atmosphere should bring more frequent severe weather events in the future.
