Rachel’s research leverages remote sensing to disentangle the drivers of air pollution, specifically nitrogen dioxide. She uses observations from the recently-launched TEMPO satellite, ground-based Pandora spectrometers in the Boston area, and model output from GEOS-CF. Her focuses include relationships between soil NOx and temperature, validation TEMPO in a coastal urban environment, and refining a new methodology to advance the capabilities of Pandora spectrometers.
