Arctic aerosols: dimethyl sulphide concentrations, the prevalence of its oxidation products SO2, SO4, and methanesulphonic acid (MSA) and their role as a feedback mechanism in present day and paleoclimate conditions. Carbon Dioxide: monitoring and interpretation of the atmospheric CO2 record in the arctic using carbon and oxygen isotopes. Air Quality Monitoring: passive sampling monitoring of pollutants by native communities to assess the impacts, if any, of oil and gas development and production in the Arctic
