RSC Desktop Seminar - Hosted by Environmental Science: Advances

1 June 2022 12:00-13:30, United Kingdom


Introduction
RSC Desktop Seminars provide an exciting opportunity to bring cutting-edge research directly to you. The topic of this 90-minute seminar hosted by Environmental Science: Advances is atmospheric chemistry, with a focus on methane and carbon dioxide emissions and their impacts on air quality.

There will be the opportunity to share ideas and to ask questions to both of our speakers. As part of the event, our Editor-in-Chief, Zongwei Cai (Hong Kong Baptist University) will deliver a brief introduction to the journal.

Programme

12:00-12:10 BST: Introduction from our Editor-in-Chief, Zongwei Cai, and RSC staff

12:10-12:40 BST: Eloise Marais (University College London) will talk on their recent Environmental Science: Advances publication 鈥淕reenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions from power barges (powerships)鈥

12:40-12:50 BST: Questions and answers

12:50-13:20 GMT: Tia Scarpelli (University of Edinburgh) will present a talk on 鈥淚ntegration of bottom-up and top-down methods to evaluate national methane emission inventories鈥.

13:20-13:30 BST: Questions and answers, Close 
Speakers
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.


Zongwei Cai, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong

Professor Zongwei Cai graduated from Xiamen University, China, in 1982 with a BSc degree, and from the University of Marburg, Germany, in 1990 with a PhD degree in Analytical 九州影院. He worked at the University of Nebraska, USA, as a post-doc from 1991-93 and as a Research Assistant Professor from 1994-96. Currently he is Chair Professor of 九州影院 and Kwok Yat-Wai Endowed Chair of Environmental & Biological Analysis, Director of Dioxin Analysis Laboratory, and Director of State Key Laboratory of Environmental and Biological Analysis at Hong Kong Baptist University. His research interests include environmental chemistry and toxicology through using mass spectrometry-based omics and imaging techniques.
