is a Distinguished Professor of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science at Pennsylvania State University and was the department head for more than 15 years. His research interests include atmospheric photochemistry from Earth's surface to the stratosphere, atmospheric aerosol particle formation and aging; uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for atmospheric chemistry models and measurements, and new measurement strategies for atmospheric oxidation processes.

Her research spans laboratory, modeling, and field studies to understand the isotopic composition of gases in the atmospheres of Earth and other planets -- from the physical chemistry of isotope effects to making and using isotope measurements to understand the evolution of planetary atmospheres and the influence of human activities on Earth's atmosphere and climate. She has participated as a science team member and/or instrument principal investigator in numerous NASA suborbital campaigns involving NASA aircraft (ER-2, DC-8, and WB-57F)

He joined NOAA in Boulder, Colorado after receiving advanced degrees in physics from the University of Wisconsin and the University of Missouri. His principal research interests have been measurements of trace gases and aerosols in the troposphere and lower stratosphere using instruments on board research aircraft with an emphasis on stratospheric ozone depletion and the roles of black carbon, biological aerosol, and water vapor in the climate system.

From page 178... ...
McFarquhar's research is to improve understanding of the basic properties of clouds and the ability to quantitatively determine the many effects cloud processes have on weather and climate using a combination of aircraft in situ observations and ground-, ship-, and satellite-based remote sensing of clouds and aerosols, and models with a variety of temporal and spatial scales. He is a former chair of the American Meteorological Society Committee on Cloud Physics and currently vice president of the International Commission on Clouds and Precipitation.

In addition to fieldwork in the western United States and Alaska, she has spent multiple field seasons in Greenland and has performed remote sensing analyses over the entire United States, the Canadian Rockies, the Peruvian Andes, and the planet Mars. Since 1997, she has been a member of the NASA MultiAngle Imaging SpectroRadiometer Science Team serving as liaison to the cryosphere community and publishing on multiangular remote sensing of snow and ice.

She served on several steering committees including the NSF Research Coordination Network for High-Performance Distributed Computing in the Polar Sciences, the Mountain Research Initiative, and the National Snow and Ice Data Center. In 2020, Nolin was elected to the Board of Directors of the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Sciences, Inc.
