Professor Lucy Carpenter MBE, FRS, FRSC is a distinguished academic in the Department of Chemistry at the University of York. She holds current roles including Principal Investigator of the Cape Verde Observatory (WMO-GAW global station) and has held former roles such as Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, and Deputy Head of Department (Research). Her research focuses on atmospheric chemistry with emphasis on gas-phase tropospheric chemistry, ocean-air trace gas emissions, and ozone deposition mechanisms. She leads projects on atmosphere-ocean interactions, long-term atmospheric composition monitoring, and iodine emission dynamics.
Research interests include multiphase chemistry on ocean surfaces, reactive halogen cycling, and climate impacts of trace gases. Notable projects include the Cape Verde Observatory’s 20-year trace gas monitoring program (funded by NERC) and investigations into ozone deposition kinetics. She has published over 190 peer-reviewed articles, contributed to IPCC assessments, and co-authored the 2018 Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion.
Honors include the Royal Society Rosalind Franklin Award (2015) and Philip Leverhulme Prize (2006). Active in policy engagement, she advises Montreal Protocol meetings and chairs international working groups. Current grants include leadership of the £2.5M Marine VOCs (COCO-VOC) project and EPSRC funding for ozone-halogens research. She supervises PhD students and mentors early-career researchers through York’s Chemistry department.
