Dr. Holly Mallinson is a postdoctoral fellow in the Mesoscale Atmospheric Processes Laboratory at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. She is working with Scott Braun on coupled convective processes and implications for the NASA Earth System Observatory-Atmosphere Observing System (EOS-AOS, https://aos.gsfc.gov) in response to the NASA Decadal Survey Designated Observables for Aerosols and Clouds, Convection, and Precipitation (2017). She will also be working with Toshi Matsui on using POLARRIS (POLArimetric Radar Retrieval and Instrument Simulator) to bridge the gap between observations and numerical models.
Holly received her doctorate from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign where her dissertation focused on understanding how anthropogenic climate change may influence hailstorms. She also received her master's from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as well as a bachelor's from the University of Louisiana-Monroe.
