-
Her research interests center around anthropogenic perturbations of the environment, especially the ecological consequences of land-use/land-cover change.
-
Significant anthropogenic contributions to radiative forcing were also found to have come from several other sources, including tropospheric ozone changes due to emissions of ozone-forming chemicals, direct radiative forcing due to changes in halocarbons, and changes in surface albedo, due to land-cover changes and deposition of black carbon aerosols on snow.
