Is Proxima Centauri b habitable? A study of atmospheric loss
We address the important question of whether the newly discovered exoplanet, Proxima Centauri b (PCb), is capable of retaining an atmosphere over long periods of time. This is...- publication PDF

Key drivers of ozone change and its radiative forcing over the 21st century
Over the 21st century changes in both tropospheric and stratospheric ozone are likely to have important consequences for the Earth's radiative balance. In this study, we...- publication PDF
