Planetary scientist/atmospheric physicist - hi

How did you find PF?

Hi there,
I'm a research scientist having worked in various fields and institutions, I'm now out on my own as an independent contractor. I don't have my computer guy down the hall to ask computer questions to, or the building of experts to quiz when I'm stuck on a problem. I also miss helping others and doing outreach. Hoping to re-discover that sense of community here :-)

I've been around a bit - degrees in physics and meteorology, PhD in atmospheric physics (detecting volcanic plumes using satellites), ice core climatologist (working in Antarctica looking at how shallow ice cores relate to meteorology), remote sensing scientist (writing retrieval algorithms to use satellite data to measure Earth's atmospheric composition), and most recently planetary scientist (looking at Saturn's moons). It's all basically maths and physics though, and mostly involved writing code to model things or process/visualise data.

Welcome! You "had" me at Saturn! You have a wide variety of interests and areas of study, wow! I am sure we can all learn from you as you learn from us as well! It's great to have you here and we hope that you find enjoyment in the discussions. I am hoping to learn a great deal here myself. Enjoy the ride!
