We study the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere

The observations both on the ground and on airborne platforms are supplemented by model analysis to understand the variations of the chemical composition and physical properties of the atmosphere.

To the Ground

Atmospheric composition and meteorological parameters measurements are carried out continuously on sites of particular interest.

With Airplanes and Drones

Innovative measuring instruments are developed and used to observe the atmosphere on board aircraft and drones instrumented.

At Sea

Observations at sea are carried out to study the role on climate and atmospheric composition of the atmosphere-sea surface exchanges.

We analyze the atmosphere-ground, ocean exchanges

At the Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics-Chemistry and Climatology flow measurements are performed to evaluate the exchanges between earth and air of chemical compounds.

In Atmosphere

Development of tools and measurement campaigns useful for the detection of anthropogenic and biogenic emissions.

From the Ground

Geochemical applications. Search for possible correlations between CO₂ flows and seismic activity along active faults.

From the Sea

Observatory for the detection of chemical-physical parameters in the marine environment and sea-atmosphere exchanges.

We develop models for different fields of application

The team of Atmospheric Physics-Chemistry and Climatology completes its observational analysis with the use of different models.

Regressive

Useful for making predictions, for testing hypotheses or for modeling dependency relationships.

Neural

Useful for evaluating the relationship between different parameters (chemical and non-chemical) and simulating complex relationships.

Box-Models

Useful for modeling the current chemistry in a specific site and understanding its dominant processes.

We investigate on interactions between pollutants and health

A frontier activity carried out by the team of Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics-Chemistry and Climatology concerns the study of the interaction between atmospheric compounds and human health.

Pollutants

Study of compounds such as ozone, tropospheric gas resulting from anthropogenic emissions with oxidative capacity.

Interactions

Interdisciplinary analysis of the impact of atmospheric compounds on the environment and on the health of living beings.

Health

Effects on human health, on human cells, carcinogenic or not, through in-vitro interdisciplinary experiments.
