I am interested in paleoclimate and snow chemistry studies including elements and compounds post-depositional and photochemical process in surface snow and snow-atmosphere interactions. My main topic is trace elements measurements in ice cores with particular focusing on iron (includes its chemical speciation) for its role in the ocean fertilization, and halogens measurements for their connections with sea ice changes. I am also interest in the impact caused by the ancient civilization on atmospheric composition. I am involved in aerosol measurements in polar environment for understand the natural cycle of trace elements, biogenic compound and black carbon and their possible changes in the recent decades. I participate in several field expeditions in Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine regions. I am actively involved in glacier mass balance estimations.
