Research Interests
Research in the Bertram group is designed to provide direct experimental and observation based constraints for a host of chemical processes. These include:

- The time evolution of the source-sink relationship for greenhouse gases.
- The heterogeneous processing of reactive trace gases.
- The interaction of the atmosphere, biosphere and the oceans.
Primary Research Area: Interdisciplinary Specialties:
Physical/Analytical Chemistry Atmospheric and Environmental
