Mark Weber
Group at IUP: |
group leader UVSAT |
Current Position: |
senior scientist (WIMI) |
Research Interest: |
My research focuses on trace gas and radiation retrieval from UV/visible satellite spectrometers and its application to earth remote sensing and climate research. |
Research Career: |
I earned my Ph.D. at the Physics Department of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA, in 1992. As a National Research Council and National Academy of Science (NRC/NAS) research fellow I worked for about three years in the Laboratory of Extraterrestrial Physics at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, near Washington, DC, before joining the Environmental Physics group in Bremen. |
Additional Information: |
In 2005 I was invited to join the WMO-GAW Ozone Science Advisory Group. I am contributing author and reviewer of selected chapters of the recent WMO Scientific Ozone Assessments in 2006 and 2010. Currently I am an associate editor of the peer-review journal Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (Atmos. Meas. Tech.). Currently I am an elected member of the academic senate of the University of Bremen and member of the faculty council (Fachbereichsrat). |
