Why Is Nadine Unger Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Nadine Unger is a Professor of Atmospheric Chemistry at the University of Exeter. She has studied the role of human activities and forests on the Earth's climate. Early life and education Unger earned her doctoral degree in atmospheric chemistry at the University of Leeds, where she worked on isoprene chemistry. The small molecule isoprene is a volatile organic compound that can react with nitrogen oxide to form the greenhouse gas ozone. Isoprene can also extend the lifetime of atmospheric methane. Whilst these two processes cause global warming, isoprene can also produce aerosol particles that block sunlight, resulting in a cooling effect. After earning her PhD, Unger was a postdoctoral scholar at Harvard University. Unger joined the Goddard Institute for Space Studies where she worked on air pollution and the impact of climate change on air quality. Her research involved modelling the emissions from future industries. Industries commonly burn fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide, which can result in global warming, but they also release sulphates that enter the atmosphere as aerosols. These aerosols can cause the atmosphere to cool by blocking out heat from the sun and modifying the clouds so that they reflect more heat back to space. She identified that until 2050 road vehicle emissions will dominate human emissions, but after then power sector emissions will take the lead.
