Research Experience
Atmospheric Trace Gas Measurement Techniques
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) - with precolumn derivatization and fluorescence detection (SO2) [Saltzman et al., 1993]
Gas Chromatography (GC) - with cryogenic preconcentration and a flame photometric detector (DMS), an electron capture detector (CH3Br, CH3Cl, CFC-12), or a mass spectrometer (many halocarbons) [Yvon et al., 1996b; Lobert et al., 1996; Lobert et al., 1997; Yvon-Lewis et al., in prep.]
Filter Collection - with extraction followed by analysis through fluorescence quenching (H2S) [Yvon et al., 1993]
Modeling
Developing a time dependent photochemical box model for the marine boundary layer [Yvon and Saltzman, 1993]
Developing a global coupled ocean-atmosphere box model for the uptake of trace gases by the oceans [Yvon and Butler, 1996; Yvon-Lewis and Butler, 1997]
