Nick Hewitt's research interests in biosphere-atmosphere
interactions and atmospheric chemistry

My main research interests are in understanding how the biosphere and the atmosphere interact: how emissions of trace gases from the biosphere affect the atmosphere, and how the changing atmospheric environment affects the biosphere. This requires a mixture of laboratory and field based experimental work with supporting modelling studies. I am also interested in air pollution and global climate change in general.
