As climate change rapidly intensifies, this study on atmospheric chemistry could mark a critical turning point for the future of our planet. Conducted by Prof. Dr. Didem Saloğlu Dertli from the Disaster Management Institute at Istanbul Technical University, alongside Angelo Basile and Alfredo Cassano from the Italian National Research Council, this research provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of chemical processes in the atmosphere on global warming. By examining carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases, the study sheds light on their long-term consequences for Earth’s ecosystems. The findings hold great significance for reshaping climate policies, strengthening air pollution mitigation strategies, and accelerating the transition to sustainable energy.
This comprehensive research was conducted using advanced computer simulations and field measurements to model the chemical reactions occurring in different layers of the atmosphere. Supported by experiments carried out in research facilities and high-tech satellite data, the study enables scientists to better understand how gases move and interact within the atmosphere. Future studies can leverage these findings to develop more accurate atmospheric models and innovative solutions aimed at minimizing the impact of human activities on ecosystems.
