Research interests
Dominick is interested in understanding interactions between the biosphere, atmosphere and climate and the way that these interactions are being altered by human activity. In particular he wants to help understand how deforestation impacts air quality and climate.
Dominick’s research group combine models of the Earth’s atmosphere, land surface and climate with observations and satellite remote sensing.
