A link to the U.S. Center COP26 NASA Hyperwall presentation by Qing Liang, Research Physical Scientist, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
Why Don't You Measure Ozone?
2017.03.09
NASA climate scientist Arlin Krueger presented a Maniac lecture entitled, "Why don’t you measure ozone?" Arlin started from humble beginnings in central Minnesota, fortuitous timing led to a career in atmospheric physics from the IGY (International Geophysical Year period spanning from July 1957-December 1958) through the beginning and maturing of the space age. His grad school advisor’s direction to “measure ozone” led him to develop several balloon, rocket, and satellite techniques, including rocket ozonesondes and the TOMS total ozone mapping spectrometer.
An Uncharted Journey: How I Became an Atmospheric Scientist Rather than a Cowboy or a Farmer
2016.12.02
NASA climate scientist Dr. Michael Kurylo presented a Maniac lecture entitled, "An Uncharted Journey: How I Became an Atmospheric Scientist Rather than a Cowboy or a Farmer." Mike described the path that took him from post-WW II housing projects to and through a rural Connecticut neighborhood, how he became convinced about the unrealistic nature of some early naive career dreams, and how he eventually arrived at a career in atmospheric science (research and program management, and their interface with international environmental policy).
Ozone has been very, very good to me!
2015.04.30
NASA climate scientist Dr. Richard Stolarski presented a Maniac Talk entitled "Ozone has been very, very good to me!" Rich was a player and an eye witness to much of the historical development of our understanding of the stratospheric ozone layer from the 1970s to the present. He shared some of the lessons learned on this journey, including major scientific and political developments that led to the Montreal Protocol that bans the production of many ozone-depleting substances.
Some pretty good rules for a career: Newman’s Own Lessons
2015.02.27
NASA climate scientist Dr. Paul Newman presented a Maniac Talk entitled "Some pretty good rules for a career: Newman's own lessons." Paul traced his journey from middle of Seattle, where he grew up, moved to rural Iowa for graduate school, and made his way to NASA/GSFC in 1984, and discussed lessons to be learned from the ozone depletion story.
A Career in Many Ozone Layers
2014.05.13
NASA climate scientist Dr. Anne Thompson presented a Maniac Talk entitled, "A Career in Many Ozone Layers." Anne shared some of her long scientific career both as a researcher at NASA Goddard and Meteorology professor at Penn State University. She also described some of the problems she has worked on and tried to convey an enthusiasm for Earth Observations.
Satellite Observations - the Touchstone of Atmospheric Modeling
2013.04.01
NASA climate scientist Dr. Anne Douglass presented a Maniac Talk, 'Satellite Observations - the Touchstone of Atmospheric Modeling.' Anne shared some of her scientific career that is filled with unexpected twists and turns and even a few blind alleys, but most important her passion in satellite measurements of ozone and other trace gases, which have been her touchstone.
Modeling Atmospheric Aerosols: Opportunities, Excitements, and Danger
2012.09.05
Dr. Mian Chin is a physical scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. She is the lead of several projects involving global modeling of tropospheric aerosols and chemistry. In the series of Maniac Talks we’ve had so far, Mian's talk provides an important linkage between the observations and modeling world.
