About
James Anderson is the Philip S. Weld Professor of Atmospheric Chemistry at Harvard University. His research focuses on advancing climate research through innovative applications of lasers, lidars, radars, hyperspectral imaging, and in situ observations, combined with airborne and high-altitude platforms. His work addresses gas-phase kinetics of free radicals, catalytic processes affecting atmospheric ozone, and the development of cutting-edge technologies for stratospheric and tropospheric studies.
Anderson's group, the Anderson Group, pioneers the use of high-altitude, long-duration unmanned aircraft to study global environmental changes. Their interdisciplinary approach bridges atmospheric science, engineering, and technological innovation to address critical climate-related challenges.
