Introduction Led by Professor Peter Liss, the Group carries out research mainly in the area of air-sea exchange of trace gases. We are interested in the processes of formation and destruction of these gases in seawater, how they cross the air-sea interface and how the rate of interfacial transfer can be parameterised and quantified. The work falls in the general context of the role of air-sea exchange in geochemical cycling and global change. The research is pursued through laboratory, field and modelling studies.
Field work is often on ocean going research vessels, both U.K. and international.
Our research interests can be broadly divided into the following categories. This page is maintained by Rosie Cullington and Adrian Thompson.
