Stephanie Schollaert Uz is the Applied Sciences Manager at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center where she leads activities to advance the practical application of NASA data and science, connecting researchers across the Earth Sciences Division with end users, developing external partnerships, and fostering innovative uses of Earth observations for societal benefit. She leads a team that convenes working groups with scientists and stakeholders around Food Security, Air Quality & Health, Climate & Environmental Health, Disasters, Mission Applications, and the Chesapeake Bay. Her research focuses on the response of marine and aquatic ecosystems to physical forcing through the use of satellite data, in situ measurements, model output and statistical reconstructions. She is the Principal Investigator on research projects exploring ways to apply remote sensing to identify water quality issues for aquaculture in the Chesapeake Bay. These and many other Applied Sciences activities inform NASA’s upcoming missions, i.e. PACE, scheduled to launch in 2024 and a Surface Biology and Geology mission after that. She has a Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from the University of Maryland, an M.S. in Physical Oceanography from the Graduate School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island and B.S. in Oceanography from the U.S. Naval Academy.
