Her current research interest is in using simple climate models and a complicated climate-chem~stry model to detect and attribute climate change. Her recent work has included use of a simple climate model to perform a statistical estimation of the uncertainties of the climate sensitivity, in which it was found that the 90 percent confidence interval for climate sensitivity is 1.0- 9.3°C, and that the magnitude of the climate sensitivity critically depended on historical changes in solar irradiance.

She has an ongoing interest in urban, regional, and global tropospheric chemistry and budgets, cloud and aerosol interactions and cloud microphysics; climate and climate change, and model development and interpretation. Venkatchalam Ram aswamy is a senior scientist and leader of the Atmospheric Processes Group at the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory.

He is an expert in the modeling simulation and analysis of climate and climate change, with interests in simulating and understanding past, present, and possible future climates, climate impacts, and climate policy. He carried out the first detailed comparison of climate and climate changes simulated by different atmospheric general circulation models and has led He development of tropospheric GCMs, stratospheric-tropospheric GCMs, oceanic GCMs, and a variety of simpler climate models, including the energy balance clirnate/upwelling-diffusion ocean model with which he made projections of global temperature change for the 1990 IPCC report.
