International GEOS-Chem Meeting

This week, GEOS-Chem users from around the world are meeting in St. Louis for IGC 11. The meeting focuses on science and model developments, including themed breakout sessions. Jeff presented a poster titled, “Modeling and Remote Sensing of the Diurnal Variability in NO2 and HCHO: Results from Boston and Salt Lake City”. Jeff also co-chaired […]

HAQAST Massachusetts

Last week, Jeff was part of a panel at the NASA Health and Air Quality Applied Science Team workshop, hosted by MIT. Jeff discussed how the ground-based Pandora network can support the interpretation of satellite-based retrievals of trace gases. You can watch Jeff’s short presentation here.  

Boston Pandora Project

This week, we completed re-installation of Pandoras throughout the Boston area. Our most recent project focuses on new measurements located in a community near the airport, as well as custom sky scans at multiple locations that will map horizontal variability in trace gases across the city with a focus on advancing new geostationary satellite observations […]

Harvard Atmospheric Chemistry Seminar

This week, Jeff was invited to give the Atmospheric & Environment Chemistry Seminar at Harvard University. His talk is called “Clear Skies Ahead? New Challenges and Opportunities in Remote Sensing of Urban Air Quality”. Check out the abstract for the seminar here.

American Meteorological Society Meeting

This week, two members of our group attended the American Meteorological Society Meeting in Baltimore. Graduate student Rachel Mooers attended the AMS as a student volunteer. Thanks for your dedication, Rachel! Graduate student Arden Radford presented a poster on our NOAA-funded CO2-AQ-USA project. The title of Arden’s poster is: “Local to Regional Heterogeneity in Greenhouse […]

Geddes Group @ AGU 2023

Check out all the great work from grad students and postdocs in the Geddes Research Group at this year’s Fall Meeting of the AGU in San Francisco (and virtually)! Bo Wang submitted an abstract on our work estimating the sensitivity of global ozone deposition flux calculations to various input sources: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/1339498. Jeff Geddes submitted an […]

Pandora User Group Meeting in DC

This week, Jeff is attending the Pandora User Group Meeting in Washington DC. This meeting brings together investigators from around the world who are operating Pandora instruments. Jeff is giving a research talk on our measurements in Boston and Salt Lake City. Details of this meeting are shared here.

Welcome Claire!

The Geddes Group welcomes Claire Naughton, who is joining the group as a PhD student this fall. Claire has an undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Welcome Claire!

New Publications!

Fresh off the press, our group just published a pair of papers in JGR-Atmospheres on coastal urban air quality. We examine a variety of challenges and opportunities in high resolution modeling and remote sensing observations. In postdoc Bo Wang’s modeling paper, we show how sea breeze frontal dynamics and urban NOx titration effects drive strong heterogeneity […]

TEMPO Science Team Meeting in Huntsville

This week, the TEMPO Science Team Meeting is taking place at the University of Alabama, Huntsville. Jeff is participating on a panel discussing the instrument’s capabilities to resolve fine spatial gradients in pollution. This will be the first meeting since the launch of TEMPO in April (time lapse photo below, with details here)!
