Nicolas Bousserez

Role
WP6 Co-leader

Dr Nicolas Bousserez has extensive experience working on large scientific projects with NASA Science teams and Copernicus at ECMWF, supporting research activities for atmospheric trace-gas inversions and data assimilation systems. He is currently working on the design and development of the future Copernicus CO2 service. His areas of expertise include atmospheric chemistry, remote sensing, inverse methods and numerical algorithms for high-dimensional optimisation problems.

Role
WP5 Co-Leader

Marko Scholze has more than 20 years of research experience in the development and application of inverse modelling and data assimilation systems for the global carbon cycle. At Lund University he leads the “Inverse modelling of the interaction between the atmosphere and the earth’s surface” research group which investigates the global carbon cycle and its interactions with climate and humans by means of inverse modelling and assimilating observations into process-based models.  He is a member of the European Commission's CO2 Monitoring Task Force (CO2 MTF) and has been involved in several projects around the development of of the Copernicus CO2 Monitoring (CO2M) mission.

Gregoire Broquet

Role
WP4 Co-Leader

Gregoire Broquet has a 18-year expertise in the development and application of data assimilation systems for ocean modeling and for the atmospheric inverse modeling of greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes. Since 2009, he supervises at LSCE a range of activities for the monitoring of natural and anthropogenic GHG fluxes from the continental to the city / industrial site scales, based on the assimilation of in situ and satellite data. He has been involved in various projects for the preparation of the Copernicus Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Monitoring (CO2M) mission and for the development of operational CO2 emission monitoring systems.

Role
Project Member

My research group studies the atmosphere on Earth and other planets using data, models, and theory. To achieve this we develop novel analytical and computational models of land surface processes and atmospheric composition and physics, and confront them with ground-based, airborne and satellite data.

Role
Project Member

Marc Bocquet has a PhD in theoretical physics from Ecole Polytechnique, and a Habilitation from Paris Sorbonne University.
He has been a postdoc fellow in the physics departments of the University of Warwick and of the University of Oxford.
He is currently professor at École des Ponts ParisTech and deputy director of the atmospheric environment research and
teaching centre (CEREA). He works in the field of data assimilation, machine learning and inverse problems in the
geosciences, with applications to atmospheric chemistry as well as in environmental statistics. He develops new
mathematical methods to better estimate the state of the atmosphere and the ocean, and their constituents, using large
sets of observations and complex models. He is a Fellow of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, and
an Editor for the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, for Foundation of Data Science and for
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics.

Role
Project Member

Mirosław Zimnoch is associate professor at the Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science, AGH-University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland and Head of Environmental Physics Group. His research activity is focused on the application of natural isotope tracers (carbon, oxygen, radon) for atmospheric trace gas cycling studies, air quality studies, application of UAV-s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) for atmospheric boundary layer dynamics research, design and construction of mobile sensors and automatic air sampling devices and numerical modelling of the atmospheric circulation and trace gas transport.

Role
Project Member

Michal Galkowski was born in Brzesko, Poland, in 1986. He received master's degreen in Nuclear Physics in 2010 and PhD in Physics in 2015, both at AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków. Since 2017 he is a PostDoc at Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena, in the Airborne Trace Gas Measurement and Mesoscale Modelling Group. His research interests are focused on bridging the gap between  observations of atmospheric greenhouse gases and their the models, in particular on the regional scales. In the scope of CoCO2 he is coordinating setting up and running of a modelling framework that consists of a coupled eulerian transport model (WRF-GHG) and an analytical inversion system aimed at estimation of GHG emissions on local and regional scales. This work is done in close coordination with group investigating modern research techniques in order to improve the modelling results by assimilating local vertical profile information and radiocarbon data.
