Duncan, B.N., J.J. West, Y. Yoshida, A.M. Fiore, and J.R. Ziemke, The influence of European pollution on ozone in the Near East and northern Africa, Atmos. Chem. Phys., 8, 2267-2283, 2008.

Research Interests:

My interests include issues related to tropospheric chemistry, such as air quality, and the impact of biomass burning pollution on atmospheric dynamics and chemistry. I'm currently involved with global modeling of the long-range transport of pollution and the interpretation and evaluation of satellite data.

Biography:

Dr. Bryan Duncan received a B.S. in Chemistry in 1991 and a Ph.D. in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences in 1997 from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He was a postdoctoral fellow and research assistant from 1997 to 2001 in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University where he helped to develop the GEOS-CHEM 3-D model of transport and chemistry and conducted a model study of the seasonal and interannual variations of carbon monoxide. He then spent two years at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology as a research scientist performing model studies of the export of pollution from Europe and from wildfires in Indonesia. Since 2004, he has been an Associate Research Scientist at GEST.
