Hiram "Chip" Levy II

 

Senior Research Scientist at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory/NOAA

Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Geophysical Sciences and the Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Princeton University

RESEARCH INTERESTS:

My current research examines the impact of human activity on the chemistry of the atmosphere and its resulting impact on global air quality, climate, and global biogeochemical cycles. Some specific topics are: The influence of aerosols, both natural and anthropogenic, on air quality and climate; The impact of changing biogenic hydrocarbon emissions on air quality; The interannual variability in CO2 sinks, sources and accumulation; The impact of human fixation of nitrogen on global nitrogen biogeochemistry.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS and COLLABORATIONS:

  1. Biospheric Processes Group [GFDL] - Will work to understand the interactions between the earth's biosphere and climate and assess the impact of human activities.
  2. China-MAP [NASA] A measurement and modeling program dedicated to studying the local, regional, and hemispheric impact of pollution emitted from China on both climate and atmospheric chemstry.
  3. ITCT [NOAA] and ITCT [Center for Global and Regional Environmental Research/University of Iowa] - A coordinated international research program to investigate intercontinental transport of manmade pollution, with an emphasis on ozone, fine particles, and other chemically active "greenhouse" compounds.

COURSES:

  1. Chemistry of the Environment - CHM333/GEO333
  2. Atmospheric Chemistry and Transport - AOS/GEO537fall96
  3. Atmospheric Chemistry - fall1998, fall2000, spring2003 - AOS/GEO537fall98
