Rob Wood
Professor, Department of Atmospheric Sciences
Climate change (global)
Expertise: Clouds, marine brightening, climate change, climate variability
Rob Wood’s research work focuses upon understanding processes controlling clouds in the Earth’s atmosphere and the roles that clouds play in determining climate variability and change, the formation of rain, and how tiny aerosol particles (both natural and anthropogenic) interact with clouds and help determine their physical and radiative properties. Dr. Wood also conducts research to understanding the potential for deliberate brightening of marine low clouds to offset greenhouse warming by augmenting the natural aerosol population.
