Professor Matt Rigby's work examines sources of greenhouse gas emissions, which involves assessing ongoing atmospheric measurements. He has explored emissions of banned ozone-depleting substances such as CFC-11, and the misreporting of emissions reductions such as for HFC-23, a by-product produced during the production of refrigerants. Professor Rigby is interested in the emissions processes, transport and chemistry of radiatively important trace gases, ozone-depleting substances and air pollutants. He was previously a Research Scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is currently leading the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) project on the Detection and Attribution of Regional greenhouse gas Emissions in the UK (DARE-UK). He has also served as lead author of the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion.

's research aims to resolve the complex dynamics of nitrogen cycling in hydrologic systems. His group uses a variety of field, laboratory, and modeling techniques to understand how hydrological and biogeochemical processes interact to control the transport and transformation of reactive nitrogen and how human activities influence these interactions. In particular, they specialize in the application of stable isotope techniques to examine the impact of hydrological and biogeochemical processes on the production, retention, and reactive transport of nitrate and nitrous oxide.
