The department primarily engages in projects spanning the domains of Emission Registrations, Chemical Transport Modeling of air pollutants, and Emission data assimilation based on Earth observations from space. Upcoming research endeavors for the next few years will delve into areas such as ultrafine particle emissions and dispersion, greenhouse gas emissions estimates from satellites, high-performance air quality modeling, and nitrogen deposition. Through commitment to research, knowledge development, and advisory roles, we contribute to the creation of high-quality data and innovative solutions. This collective effort aims to combat climate change, enhance air quality, and promote biodiversity and human health. Regardless of the specific project you undertake, working in the field of emissions and air quality at our organization promises a dynamic, innovative, and impactful experience.
