Mark Parrington

Welcome to my homepage at the University of Edinburgh. I am a research associate in the Tropospheric Chemistry and Earth Observation Modelling Group in the School of GeoSciences.

Research interests

My research interests are in the chemical composition of the Earth's atmosphere and its role in the climate system. I am especially interested in satellite remote sounding of atmospheric composition, numerical modelling of atmospheric chemistry and transport, and combining observations and models through data assimilation.

I work on the BORTAS project, investigating the impact of boreal forest fires on global tropospheric composition.
