The GASSP team consists of scientists from the UK, the United States and Germany, and is growing all the time. The project is a collaboration of the Universities of Leeds, Oxford and Manchester, with international data partners. The team consists of expertise in global aerosol modelling combined with aerosol observations from ship, aircraft and land-based sites, as well as statistical modelling.
