International GEOS-Chem Meeting at Harvard

Last week was the 9th International GEOS-Chem Meeting at Harvard University. The meeting consists of rapid-fire presentations about model development and science, and break-out sessions to discuss priorities and future plans. The full program and webcast is available here. You can jump to Anthony’s presentation on improving dry deposition processes in the model here. (You can […]

Research Highlighted in Science Magazine

Research led by collaborators at the University of Virginia was recently highlighted in Science Magazine. Jeff is a co-author on the original study, published in Environmental Science & Technology earlier this month, entitled “Observing Severe Drought Influences on Ozone Air Pollution in California”. In this work, University of Virginia graduate student Angelique Demetillo and PI Sally […]

Talk at the BU Astronomical Society Meeting

This weekend, Jeff spoke at the BU Astronomical Society’s first annual weather balloon launch event. The afternoon consisted of talks from faculty and graduate students, as well as tours of the BU observatory, and scientific demonstrations, all organized by the BUAS students  

WMO Expert Meeting on Global Total Atmospheric Deposition

This week, Jeff is in Geneva participating in the latest Global Atmospheric Watch Expert Meeting on Measurement-Model Fusion for Global Total Atmospheric Deposition (MMF-GTAD) at the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva. The title of his talk is: “Update and Future Directions of Satellite/Remote Sensing Activities Related to MMF-GTAD”.

Colloquium at the University of Washington

This week, Jeff is visiting the University of Washington to speak at their Department of Atmospheric Science colloquium about our group’s research. The title of his talk is: “Checking Atmospheric Chemistry’s Pulse: Modeling and Remote Sensing of Biosphere Interactions”. https://atmos.uw.edu/news-and-events/events/#/?i=1

Geddes Group @ AGU

This week, two members of the Geddes group will be attending the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Washington, DC. Anthony will be presenting a poster called “Long-term Global Multi-physical Modelling of Ozone Dry Deposition Velocity – with Focus on Process Uncertainty and Implication on Air Quality Modelling” (see the abstract here). Jeff […]

Chemistry Seminar at BU

Today, Jeff will be giving the Department of Chemistry PChem Seminar in LSE 103 at 2pm. The title of his seminar is: “Keeping and Eye on the Atmosphere: Modeling and Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Chemistry”. https://www.bu.edu/chemistry/seminars/p-chemseminars/

Article Published in Atmospheric Measurement Techniques

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is found in the troposphere (the layer of the atmosphere closest to the surface) and in the stratosphere (the layer of the atmosphere that protects us from harmful UV radiation). When we measure NO2 from space-based instruments, we measure the combined NO2 in both layers. Separating the stratospheric and tropospheric content is […]

Research on Tap: Understanding and Forecasting Change in Our Natural World

This afternoon, Jeff is participating in a “Research on Tap” event at BU, focused on gathering together investigators across many disciplines who are interested in exploring how to forecast changes in the natural world. Jeff will be discussing links between variability in the natural environment and global air quality. The event was hosted by Gloria […]

GEMS Meeting in Seoul

This week, Jeff is in Seoul, Korea, to attend the 9th Geostationary Environmental Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) Science Team Meeting.  GEMS is a geostationary satellite instrument that will be dedicated to monitoring tropospheric pollution over Asia. Jeff will be presenting his work on an algorithm to separate the signal of NO2 in the stratosphere from the total atmospheric column, […]
