mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">The atmospheric chemistry group at Bayreuth University explores exchange processes between the atmosphere and the Earth’s ecosystems. At this interface
we want to understand relevant emission mechanisms as well as atmospheric photooxidation that leads to the formation of ozone and aerosol, hence impacts air quality and climate. Living in the Anthropocene, we study the potential of the increasing influence
of human activity to alter natural exchange processes between atmosphere and the Earth surface.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Myriad Pro",sans-serif;
mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">Especially in forested areas a large production of secondary organic aerosol has been observed which is believed to be formed by the oxidation of biogenic
volatile organic compounds (BVOC). We aim to explore this mechanism coupling traditional with novel methods. Observations in forest air as well as controlled studies in reaction chambers will aid to elucidate important details within the oxidation chemistry
of BVOC.</span></p>
