Margaret Tolbert's Research Interests
My interests are in the area of atmospheric chemistry, a focus area at the interface between fundamental chemistry and applied atmospheric science. I am specifically interested in the "new" chemistry of the atmosphere, focusing on the chemistry and physics of atmospheric particulate. In addition to fundamental studies of particles, I am also interested in exploring how atmospheric particles impact current problems such as stratospheric ozone depletion, global climate change, and urban smog.
