Rebecca Fisher

Rebecca Fisher is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London. Her research focuses on atmospheric greenhouse gases, particularly methane emissions, using tools like stable isotope analysis and mobile laser spectrometry. She leads field campaigns across polar and tropical regions, and collaborates globally on environmental monitoring initiatives.

Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and environmental protection. Current projects include developing hydrogen emission measurement technologies and quantifying agricultural methane sources. She has supervised 6 PhD students and actively engages in public outreach to promote climate research.

Key collaborations involve institutions like the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM). Her research emphasizes mobile measurements via land, sea, and air platforms, with a focus on Arctic and tropical methane dynamics.

Recent projects include the 'MOMENTUM' initiative (NERC-funded) for methane emission quantification and the 'isoMET' project on methane isotope metrology. She has secured grants from UKRI, NERC, and DEFRA for environmental monitoring innovations.
