Dr. Xiaohong Liu’s research group focuses on the complex life cycles of atmospheric aerosols and their interactions with cloud microphysics to improve the accuracy of global climate modeling.
Our group investigates how tiny airborne particles form, evolve, and affect air quality, clouds, weather, climate, and human health using Earth system models.
We study how tiny cloud particles form, grow, interact, and turn into rain, snow, or ice using Earth system models.
We study how airborne particles influence cloud formation, cloud properties, precipitation, and Earth’s climate.
We use computer simulations to understand, predict, and improve how Earth’s climate system and atmospheric processes are represented.
