The atmosphere contains a variety of substances including gases, aerosols and clouds, which exert important climate and environment impacts. Dantong Liu’s research aims to identify the key processes in controlling these impacts during the lifetime of aerosols in the atmosphere, since their emission, evolution during transport, up to the removal by deposition. His interests are using a series of state-of-the-art techniques and conceptual models to characterize a range of physio-chemical properties of aerosol and cloud particles, and to investigate their fundamental mechanisms and interplays. His current research topics are the optical properties of light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols; aerosol hygroscopicity, cloud droplet and ice nucleation; chemistry of secondary aerosols - by virtue of observations from ground sites, aircraft measurement and a laboratory aerosol chamber.

    He has published over 120 peer-reviewed articles (36 as lead or corresponding author) in a number of prestigious journals including Nature Geoscience, ACP, GRL, JGR, ES&T, with h-index of 36, some of which are selected as EGU and AGU highlights, and ACS cover. He has chaired the AGU and AOGS conference sessions; and is youth member of IGAC China committee and China Particulate Committee. He serves as an Editor of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, Section Editor of Atmosphere, guest Editor of Environmental Research and Frontiers in Environmental Science.
