Biography

Paul Griffiths is a lecturer in the Atmospheric Chemistry Research Group at the University of Bristol. His research employs models to study atmospheric chemistry, with a focus on the roles of short-lived climate forcers in the Earth's climate system. He is particularly interested in the processes that control the chemical composition of the atmosphere and how atmospheric chemistry mediates interactions among the physical climate components of the Earth system. His research contributes to broader efforts seeking to address global challenges such as air pollution, climate change, and environmental sustainability. Current projects he leads include the REVEAL-NOx initiative, aimed at reducing the uncertain climate impacts of aviation emissions. Paul is committed to advancing our understanding of climate effects resulting from aerosols, tropospheric ozone, and precursor gases.
