Dr. Melanie Follette-Cook is a research scientist in the Mesoscale Atmospheric Processes Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. She is Project Scientist of the NASA Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) Program as well as a Health and Air Quality trainer. ARSET is part of the Earth Science Applied Science Capacity Building Program and provides cost-free training on NASA observations and tools. Dr. Follette-Cook also serves as co-lead for aerosol applications for Atmosphere Observing System (AOS) mission, and co-lead of the fire focus area of the NASA Earth Information System (EIS) project. Her research focuses on using global and regional chemical models in combination with satellite, sub-orbital, and ground-based measurements to explore the coupling between the biosphere and chemistry/climate with respect to fire activity and emissions, examine the evolution and variability of trace gases and aerosols across a variety of temporal and spatial scales, and inform future NASA satellite mission requirements.
