<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">This talk will take you on a journey that will highlight the many alternative career paths outside academia available to those earning degrees in Earth sciences today – from a person who has experienced
three of them. Along the way, I’ll highlight some of the interesting things I’ve worked on, and lessons learned. Post-graduate school I started out as a government researcher working on aerosol modeling and remote sensing at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
for nearly a decade. Wanting a new challenge, I surprisingly found myself applying for a position as a climate scientist for ExxonMobil. I spent six years helping the company to better understand climate science; managing external research with major partners
such as UCR, Harvard, and Columbia University; acting as an author for the IPCC greenhouse gas inventory report; and helping the company better use remote sensing technologies – especially satellites – to monitor and manage their own emissions. Finally, hoping
to make a bigger difference (and to get out of the office), earlier this year I made the transition to the international stage – working with UNEP’s International Methane Emissions Observatory to translate satellite detections of methane to actionable data
and ultimately on-the-ground mitigation. I will give a brief overview of MARS and share how interested researchers can get involved with the IMEO, particularly with our sponsored science studies.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space ContentPasted0" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
