Postdoctoral Researcher in Satellite-Based Monitoring of Shipping Emissions Wageningen University & Research in Netherlands

This postdoctoral project focuses on satellite-based monitoring of shipping emissions , with the goal of detecting and quantifying emissions from individual ships using observations from space. The research sits at the interface of satellite remote sensing , atmospheric chemistry , atmospheric modelling , and inverse methods , and is aimed at improving how ship plumes can be identified and translated into quantitative emission estimates. At Wageningen University & Research, you will work within ...

This postdoctoral project at SRON focuses on atmospheric emissions from biomass burning, using satellite observations together with atmospheric transport and inverse modeling. The successful candidate will work on improving understanding of fire emissions and their uncertainties by combining observations from TROPOMI on Sentinel-5P with modeling tools and complementary datasets. The research sits within the Earth Science Group (ESG) , a team of around 40 scientists, postdoctoral researchers, and...

ETH Zurich’s Atmospheric Chemistry group at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science (IAC) is inviting applications for a 4-year PhD position in atmospheric chemistry on “Investigating oxidized nitrogen in the troposphere” . The project focuses on the cycling of NOx and other forms of oxidized nitrogen in the troposphere, with implications for air quality and climate . The research will use global modeling tools such as GEOS-Chem and CESM , together with analysis of large observational ...

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study observations of aircraft contrails and improve models that predict their persistence and climate impact. The project supports contrail avoidance strategies aimed at reducing aviation’s contribution to climate change. The researcher will combine observations from ground-based imagery, LIDAR measurements, and satellite imagery to create high-quality datasets for evaluating and improving contrail prediction mode...

This PhD project at the University of Groningen focuses on atmospheric trace gas observations in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. The work builds on the long-term IAGOS-CARIBIC passenger aircraft measurement project, which has collected scientific observations during regular passenger flights over more than a decade. You will analyse trace gas mixing ratio data to detect and characterise special events with unusual atmospheric compositions, particularly involving long-lived greenhou...
