Eloise Marais Appointed Co-Model Scientist of the Global Atmospheric Chemistry Model GEOS-Chem
14 October 2024
We are delighted to announce that Professor Eloise Marais has been appointed as Co-Model Scientist for the GEOS-Chem atmospheric chemistry transport model.
This role places her at the forefront of the model's scientific development and community engagement, alongside Harvard's Professor Daniel Jacob and with core leadership provided by Professor Randall Martin from Washington University in St. Louis.
GEOS-Chem is an open-source, global 3-D model of atmospheric chemistry, driven by meteorological input from NASA’s Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS).
It is used by more than 100 research groups worldwide to study a wide range of atmospheric composition issues of societal relevance.
The model's scientific direction is governed by an international steering committee from leading institutions such as NASA, UCL, Imperial College, Harvard, and Peking University.
In her new role, Professor Marais will play a substantive role in maintaining the integrity and advancing the scientific development of GEOS-Chem, which plays a key part in understanding atmospheric chemistry and pollution transport on a global scale.
Of Professor Marais's appointment, Professor Martin said: "Eloise brings outstanding leadership capabilities as evidenced by her broad contributions to GEOS-Chem development and application and by her organisation of biannual meetings for the user community based in Europe."
