Funded Activity Summary
Atmospheric Photothermal Oxidation as a New Reaction in the Atmosphere. Atmospheric models provide crucial advice on the current and future impacts of human activity on the atmosphere. This project hypothesizes the presence of a new class of chemical reactions that are unknown in atmospheric science and therefore missing from the best existing models. The reactions require both sunlight and air, and they behave differently to all other types of atmospheric reactions. This project aims to characterise these reactions in the lab, understand them with theory, and quantify their global impact through modelling. Expected benefits include new understanding of atmospheric chemistry, more accurate model predictions, and—as a result—better strategies for managing the impacts of human activity on the environment.Funded Activity Details
