Prof. John Plane's group is based at the University of Leeds in the School of Chemistry. We show varied research interests with a common aim of understanding the chemistry of planetary atmospheres. In the past, members of the group have worked on various field, laboratory and modelling projects which have tried to describe the different layers of the atmosphere ranging from the troposphere to the mesosphere. Some of these are detailed on this website. Information about the current projects can also be found on the individual pages. To find out more about the members of this group please click here
