Welcome to the Tai Group for Atmosphere-Biosphere Interactions (TGABI). Our research aims to address the pressing issues of air pollution, climate change, food system and forest ecosystem sustainability by better understanding the complex interactions between atmospheric chemistry, climate, land surface and the biosphere. Combining high-performance Earth system modeling with multivariate statistical analysis of global observations, we examine such issues as:

• How would land use and forest changes and management affect air quality and climate?
• How would climate change and air pollution interfere with agricultural and forest productivity?
• How can we mitigate climate change and environmental pollution via food system transformation and sustainable forestry?
