Specific research topics include quantifying the contribution of natural sources of mercury to the atmosphere; understanding soil-plant-air mercury exchange processes; investigating fugitive mercury emissions from active gold mines; characterizing the role of plants in biogeochemical cycling of mercury; development of surrogate surfaces for measuring atmospheric mercury dry deposition as well as passive samplers for characterization of air-mercury speciation; measurement of air-mercury speciation and dry deposition at locations in Nevada, Utah, and the southeastern United States; and characterization of mercury concentrations, water quality, and sources of mercury to select reservoirs in Nevada. Other environmental contaminants of research include arsenic, trifluoroacetic acid and organophosphate pesticides.

national parks to establish the sources and characteristics of particulate matter responsible for visibility degradation, with a recent focus on the impacts of prescribed and wild fires. Ongoing laboratory and field studies have investigated the role of particles and of individual compounds found in particulate matter in the nucleation of cloud droplets and ice crystals.

He also directs UCSD's environmental science efforts in the interdisciplinary Center for Environmental Research and Training. As a scientist he is best known for his discovery of the mass-independent isotope effect, which has improved scientific understanding in areas as diverse as climate change, the origin of the solar system, chemical physics, acid rain, and the accumulation of greenhouse gases.
