Research summary
AI-generated

Thilina Jayarathne's research focuses on atmospheric chemistry, air quality, and greenhouse gas emissions, including how cities like New York emit carbon dioxide and methane, how fires (such as tropical peat fires and open garbage burning) release pollutants, and how sea spray and aerosols form and behave in the atmosphere. The work combines field measurements (aircraft, ground stations) with laboratory and modeling approaches to quantify emissions and their sources, often in support of environmental policy.

Publication output was higher around 2017-2018, dipped afterward, and has continued at a slower, more irregular pace with fewer papers per year in recent years.
