My work requires a very good eye for details, diligence and careful analysis. I analyse and understand measurements of substances in the atmosphere. Measurements made from ground stations and on flights both from present and past episodes are assessed. Past and present trends and scenarios are studied to be able to project into the future and predict future scenarios. Understanding the interactions of the substances with one another and the atmosphere enables scientist to suggests ways to reduce their amounts in the atmosphere, and hence, reduce their likely effects on human, plants and the environment as a whole
