Expertise: environmental chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, air quality, regional to global budgets of trace gases, long range transport, continental export, climate change
Dr. Huiting Mao's research interests include regional tropospheric chemistry and climate change, intercontinental transport of trace gases and aerosols, climate-air quality connections, biosphere-atmosphere exchange of trace gases, and radiative transfer processes. Her work on these topics has appeared in 100+ high-impact journal publications. She has conducted research on ozone chemistry, biogenic and anthropogenic contributions to volatile organic compounds in marine and terrestrial environments, continental export of ozone and its precursors, speciated mercury on regional to global scales, and impacts of climate change on air quality. Dr. Mao's research focuses on understanding the fundamental physical, dynamical, and chemical processes driving tropospheric composition and chemistry. The atmospheric constituents of her interest include trace gases, especially nitrous acid, mercury, ozone, and a range of volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter. Recent collaborative endeavors have extended to the study of air pollution problems in China and health impacts of PM2.5.
