Richard P. Turco

Richard P. Turco is an atmospheric scientist known for his work on climate and environmental issues. He studies how particles and pollutants, such as aerosols and volcanic ash, affect Earth's atmosphere and climate. His research helps us understand phenomena like how volcanic eruptions influence global temperatures and the potential impact of human-made pollution. Turco's work is important for developing strategies to address climate change and protect environmental health by predicting how particles interact with sunlight and atmospheric processes.
