Ozone and Methane: Global Atmospheric Chemistry
Future impact of non-land based traffic emissions on atmospheric ozone and OH - an optimistic scenario and a possible mitigation strategy
Uncertainties in climate assessment for the case of aviation NO
Tropospheric column ozone: matching individual profiles from Aura OMI and TES with a chemistry-transport model
Global atmospheric composition and chemistry - model simulations for the IPCC 2013 Assessment
Analyze climate model simu.ations from the IPCC Archive (CIMP5) and the UCI chemistry-transport model to identify and characterize the change in extreme pollution episodes over the 21st century.
Student will work with Matlab and Fortran to read adn analyze the data set.
Project time allocation: Computer lab = 100%
Reactive greenhouse gas scenarios: Systematic exploration of uncertainties and the role of atmospheric chemistry
Earth headed for climate extremes
The forecast comes from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a global body of scientists who make periodic pronouncements on global warming and its likely effects.
The panel released a special report Friday on climate extremes and how to deal with them, and while some conclusions are more certain than others, the big picture is sobering: we'll be living on a far warmer world, with dangerous heat waves that were once rare becoming more frequent.
It will perhaps become a stormier planet as well.

Balancing the planet
Last spring, UC Irvine launched a new institute that will bring together scientists to identify new research needed for an improved understanding of society's response to a changing climate and for environmental science to better respond to societal needs.
Topics to be tackled by the UC Irvine Environment Institute: Global Change, Energy and Sustainable Resources could include how climate change will alter public health and welfare; whether people will accept the living patterns of green cities; or the environmental effects of new energy technologies.
