Brief Bio

Pam Wales joined the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office in 2019 as a postdoctoral fellow before transitioning to her position as a GESTAR scientist. Her research interests include the representation of atmospheric chemistry and composition in global models, with a focus on stratospheric and halogen chemistry. Her work includes evaluating the representation of stratospheric trace gases in the GEOS Composition Forecast (GEOS-CF) model.
