Atmosphere

Allen has a B.S. in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics from Metropolitan State University of Denver, graduating summa cum laude in 2008. He started working at NOAA as a high school student in 2002 and continued as a student until being hired full time after college. He has worked for the OZWV and GRAD divisions designing/building/repairing weather balloon and solar radiation instruments and writing scientific software and microcontroller firmware. Allen has been a coauthor of over 20 peer-reviewed publications and first author of a NOAA technical memorandum.

PhD student in Civil Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I focus on climate change impacts and water resource management. With over five years of experience assessing hydrological shifts under various climate change scenarios, I am committed to advancing global sustainability and resilience. By translating scientific findings into actionable insights for communities and policymakers, I strive to foster informed decision-making and protect vital water resources for future generations.

Nell received her BA in Chemistry from Carleton College in 2023, and then shortly after joined the NOAA CSL Tropospheric Chemistry group to aid in running a series of greenhouse gas instruments aboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft during the AEROMMA field campaign and the CSL mobile lab during the 2024 USOS field campaign. Nell began her PhD in the Analytical Chemistry program at CU Boulder in fall 2024 as a member of Steve Brown's group at NOAA CSL.

Ash is a third-year PhD Candidate in Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences advised by Dr. Jennifer Kay. They received their Bachelors in Climate & Meteorology with minors in Latin and Computer Science from the University of Michigan. Ash is also an NSF Graduate Research Fellow. 

I am a postdoctoral researcher specializing in cloud microphysics and atmospheric modeling, with a focus on Lagrangian cloud models. My research explores various processes influencing the evolution of cloud droplet size distributions, particularly under the effects of turbulence, entrainment-mixing, and their roles in both warm and mixed-phase clouds.
