Your work will focus on better understanding methane emissions from large (super-emitting) methane hot spots by combining data from different satellite instruments. These instruments will include TROPOMI on Sentinel-5P that provides daily global coverage of methane at urban-scale resolution as well as the large family of instruments that can detect methane from individual facilities (e.g., Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3, PRISMA, EMIT, EnMAP, VIIRS and GHGSat). You will work to improve the quantification of methane emissions across scales using these instruments including by using atmospheric modeling; the validation and quality assessment of these quantifications; and advance the use of satellite data to support emission mitigation. Your work will connect with projects our group has with high-impact partners including ESA, UNEP’s IMEO-MARS, the HORIZON2020 IM4CA project, the World Bank, and the Global Methane Hub.

You will present your work to various stakeholders as well as at scientific conferences, and publish your work in scientific peer reviewed journals.
