My name is Matthew Johnson and I am a former graduate student of Dr. Nicholas Meskhidze’s research group at North Carolina State University. My PhD research focused on developing a three-dimensional global chemistry transport model which simulates the production of soluble iron in mineral dust during atmospheric transport. After completing my PhD in 2012 I started a Research Scientist position at NASA Ames Research Center. My present research at NASA Ames is focused on using satellite and in situ measurement data to constrain “bottom-up” and “top-down” model simulations of processes such as: the impact of soluble iron deposition on marine biogeochemistry, greenhouse gas emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources, trace gas emission rates and chemical transformation from volcanos and wildfires, and marine organic aerosol emissions and atmospheric aging. |
