Atmospheric Science
The mission of the Atmospheric Science Research Cluster is to characterize and understand the regional atmospheric environment in terms of the natural and anthropogenic sources impacting local air quality and the global climate.
Particulate matter composition, origin and fate, as well as secondary pollution formation such as ozone generation and new particle nucleation are studied in detail, since the specific conditions favor these processes.
As a final result we are committed in protecting the health of the Qatari population through continuous control of air quality by estimating its impact on health and supporting the decision makers in their scientific and technical assumptions through the findings of our research.
