P. B. Shepson's research focuses on atmospheric chemistry, particularly the composition and behavior of gases like ozone, bromine compounds, nitrogen oxides, methane, and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, including in Arctic and urban environments. Work includes field measurements from aircraft and ground stations, oil and gas emissions monitoring, and modeling of atmospheric processes such as seasonal ozone variation and halogen chemistry in polar regions. This research contributes to understanding greenhouse gas budgets, air quality, and atmospheric pollution sources.
