I work on monitoring halogenated species (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons) using atmospheric sounders. These species release halogen atoms which catalyse stratospheric ozone depletion. This is a matter of utmost importance since the ozone layer shields the Earth from the Sun’s harmful radiation. As part of my project, I am responsible for producing atmospheric models to better quantify the impacts of halogenated species. My project directly aligns with the Montreal Protocol, making my research directly applicable to assessing results in the Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion.
