Peter Hess is a Professor in the Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. His research focuses on understanding atmospheric chemistry in the context of the Earth’s climate system. Through his work, he aims to advance the understanding of the chemical composition of the atmosphere and changes occurring in the 21st century, which directly threaten human health, agricultural productivity, and natural ecosystems. He investigates how anthropogenic emissions, agricultural activities, and land use changes affect atmospheric composition and climate. By integrating atmospheric chemical models with measurements, Professor Hess seeks insights into the historical record of atmospheric chemistry while projecting future climate change impacts and air quality. His efforts contribute to constant environmental monitoring and the development of predictive capabilities necessary for addressing climate change.
