CACP undertakes research into atmospheric processes and dynamics that affect the composition of the atmosphere and its interactions with climate. With the use of observational and high resolution modelling approaches, we are pushing forward our understanding of aerosol-cloud microphysical properties, radiative properties of aerosols, boundary layer processes and air quality from local to global scales and its’ interactions with climate.

Our research is leading to new developments and applications of instrumentation for the detection of airborne particles, including through remote sensing techniques. We also examine the impact of air pollution and climate interactions on human health and food security and how extreme weather patterns may change in the future.
