The research activity of Prof Giovanni Pitari is primarily in the field of numerical modelling of climate and dynamical-radiative-photochemical processes in the middle atmosphere, with the main interest on anthropogenic changes of atmospheric ozone and aerosols. The most important studies have been made on the following subjects:
1) aerosol-ozone interactions in the stratosphere;
2) impact of climate-chemistry coupled processes on past and future trends of stratospheric and tropospheric ozone;
3) aerosol microphysics and climatic effects of volcanic eruptions.
4) climate-chemical impact of aircraft emissions;
5) climate change mitigation using sulfate geoengineering techniques.
