Susan Solomon, scholar of atmospheric chemistry and environmental policy, delivers Killian Lecture
MIT professor describes her path to the Institute, her work on ozone depletion, and her insights on the state of climate policy.

New results point to unexpected, illegal production of several CFCs in recent years.
PhD student Sidhant Pai works on atmospheric chemistry models that may help policymakers improve air quality in their region.
Study finds Earth’s frozen surfaces became less susceptible to thawing, potentially locking in more carbon than expected.
Findings show how the trace metal is chemically altered in the anoxic, modern ocean and provide the basis for investigating paleorecords of atmosphere composition shifts.
As atmospheric concentrations of CFC-11 drop, the global ocean should become a source of the chemical by the middle of next century.
Scientists observe reduction in emissions of banned ozone-depleting chemical after unexpected spike.
The record shows ancient temperature variations coinciding with shifts in the planet’s biodiversity.
Researchers identify a mechanism by which small particles in the atmosphere can generate more frequent thunderstorms.
New study suggests waters will become more turbulent as Arctic loses summertime ice.
The atmospheric chemist shared the Nobel Prize for the discovery that chemicals known as CFCs deplete the ozone layer.
Study suggests parts of the Sierra Nevadas formed in a “geologic instant,” more than twice as fast as previously thought.
Study suggests sea ice blocks the flow of carbon both into and out of the ocean, in roughly equal measure.
Scientists have found evidence of hot springs near sites where ancient hominids settled, long before the control of fire.
Findings also suggest exoplanets lying within habitable zones may be susceptible to ice ages.
