Prof Leibensperger is broadly interested in the dynamics of environmental systems, particularly the atmosphere, the broader climate system, and, more recently, lakes. Current projects include (1) monitoring of methane in New York State to better understand sources and impacts on air quality (supported by NYSERDA and New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Rochester, the University at Albany, Columbia Universtiy, and Cornell University); and (2) studying the impact of weather and climate on Lake Champlain water quality (supported by Lake Champlain SeaGrant and in collaboration with colleagues from SUNY Plattsburgh and Middlebury College). Funding support for previous research projects has come from the Environmental Protection Agency, the State University of New York, and the National Science Foundation.
