Dr. Grant’s research focuses on the physical and chemical interaction between the atmosphere surface boundary layer and biological systems. His work has included extensive studies in aspects of climate change including solar UV radiation exposure of people and plants related to changes in stratospheric ozone, aspects of local climates in urban and rural settings and the emission and deposition of trace gases in the environment. He consults in gas emissions and forensic climatology. He has published 112 refereed journal articles, books, and book chapters, over 75 technical reports, and presented over 130 scientific talks.
