Research summary

Daniel M. Murphy studies the chemistry and physics of tiny airborne particles (aerosols) in Earth's atmosphere, especially in the stratosphere, using direct atmospheric measurements. Recent work examines how wildfire smoke, volcanic and space-debris material, sea spray, and ship exhaust particles behave and persist high in the atmosphere, including their composition, viscosity, and effects on stratospheric chemistry. This research contributes to understanding climate-relevant atmospheric processes and how human and natural events alter the upper atmosphere.

Publication output has been relatively steady over the past decade, with a peak around 2018 and a dip around 2023, but has since returned to a moderate, consistent pace of roughly 10-16 papers per year.
