Professor Matthew Rigby specializes in developing methods to quantify sources and sinks of greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances. His research involves collaboration with the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE), a global monitoring network that measures 40 trace gases with high frequency and precision. Rigby utilizes atmospheric chemistry transport models to determine emissions and sinks using AGAGE measurements. He is the Principal Investigator for several prominent research projects, including the NERC highlight topic 'Detection Attribution Regional Emissions UK (DARE-UK)' and the NERC Digital Environment project 'Hub Greenhouse Gas Data Science (HUGS)'. Furthermore, he co-leads the 'MOYA' initiative, which investigates the global methane budget. Rigby has published extensively and was the lead author for the 2018 World Meteorological Organization's Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion. His ongoing projects include the Bristol-NIWA partnership to unlock MethaneSAT observations and research on fossil-fuel CO2 emissions in the UK.
