Research

Amanda is a member of the Atmospheric and Oceanic Dynamics group at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. Her current research interests include the radiative and dynamical interactions which take place between the stratosphere and the troposphere. She is particularly interested in the impact of changes in stratospheric composition on surface climate.
