Eloise Marais, University College London, United Kingdom
Eloise Marais is an Associate Professor in Physical Geography at University College London. She received her PhD from Harvard University in 2014 on a Fulbright Scholarship. At UCL, Eloise leads a research group that uses and develops space- and ground-based datasets and numerical models to determine the impact of emergent air pollution sources on climate and air quality. Her group’s research on emerging air pollutant sources ranges from natural gas fuelled power barges (powerships) deployed to regions that lack access to electricity to rocket launches that release pollutants into multiple layers in the atmosphere. Funding to support this research is from the European Research Council and the UK Research Councils NERC and EPSRC, amongst others.
Tia Scarpelli, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Tia Scarpelli is postdoctoral researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the School of GeoSciences. Tia received her M.Sc. and B.Sc. from Michigan Technological University (Environmental Engineering) where she started her atmospheric science research career while funded by a U.S. EPA Graduate Research Opportunities Fellowship. Tia received her PhD from Harvard University where she was part of the Atmospheric 九州影院 and Modelling Group. Tia's PhD research focused on estimating methane emissions from oil and gas exploitation. Tia's current research is part of the broader COCO2 project, and her work is focused on using satellite observations of greenhouse gases and co-emitted species to better estimate carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion.
