معرفی
Jeffrey Geddes is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth & Environment at Boston University and Core Faculty at the Institute for Global Sustainability (IGS). He holds a PhD in Environmental Chemistry and BSc in Chemistry and Geology from the University of Toronto, with postdoctoral training at Dalhousie University and MIT. His research focuses on integrating satellite observations of atmospheric composition with models to study pollutants affecting air quality, particularly linking land-use changes to atmospheric chemistry. He leads projects on satellite-based air quality monitoring via instruments like TEMPO, advancing applications for ground-level pollution analysis. Geddes co-chairs the GEOS-Chem model's Chemistry-Ecosystem-Climate working group and contributes to global initiatives like the World Meteorological Organization’s Measurement-Model Fusion for Atmospheric Deposition.
