Research Interests:
Noelle Eckley Selin's research focuses on using atmospheric chemistry modeling to inform decision-making strategies on air pollution, climate change and toxic substances including mercury and persistent organic pollutants. She has also published articles and book chapters on the interactions between science and policy in international environmental negotiations, in particular focusing on global efforts to regulate hazardous chemicals and persistent organic pollutants.
