Atmospheric, Marine and Climate Research

Dr. Haimanti Biswas
Field of Research: Physics, Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment In Germany: 01.06.2024 - 30.09.2024 Host's project description Dr. Biswas is an internationally very well-known researcher in the field of ecosystem studies and marine biogeochemistry. Her work is an excellent example of the combination of observations and experiments with the aim to better understand the impact of climate change on ocean biological, chemical and physical processes. An outstanding example is her research on the impact of enhanced CO2 levels on the activity of phytoplankton. In Germany, Dr. Biswas intends to investigate the past phytoplankton community composition by analyzing biomarkers and geochemical temperature proxies. This will allow a reconstruction of phytoplankton community shifts and relate them to past climate change.

Prof. Dr. Joseph S. Francisco
Field of Research: Atmospheric Chemistry In Germany: 01.02.2004 - 29.02.2004 Host's project description Professor Francisco is an outstanding member of the international Atmospheric Science Community. By using quantum chemical methods he predicted the properties of many short lived species of atmospheric interest. Later he and others detected these species in laboratory experiments and included their behaviour in atmospheric models. Fluorinated ethers are currently under consideration as third generation of alternative halocarbon compounds. However, there is a lack of understanding of the chemistry involving these species. In collaboration with Professor Willner, University of Duisburg (now Wuppertal); a complete picture of their degradation and coupling chemistry will be studied for assessing the long-term environmental impact of these materials of various wide-ranging applications.
