  • Application of ground-based millimetre-wave measurements of ClO
  • Chemical ozone loss processes in the polar stratosphere. Study of the ClO dimer kinetics using ground-based measurements combined with an optimal estimation approach.

Field work
  • 2008/2009/2011 visit to Scott Base, Antarctica to maintain/calibrate the ClO microwave radiometer (Chloe) which is jointly operated by NIWA and NRL
