Our Team

Dr. Kenneth Davis

Professor of Atmospheric and Climate Science

Ken Davis is an expert in flux measurement methods using atmospheric observations, atmospheric boundary layer dynamics, and the terrestrial carbon and water cycles. He has led multiple studies of greenhouse gas fluxes from urban areas, oil and gas basins, and agricultural and forested landscapes using airborne and tower-based observations.

Dr. Natasha Miles

Research Professor

Natasha Miles has been working in the area of high-accuracy greenhouse gas measurements since 2002. She has extensive experience in fieldwork and data analysis for the numerous recent field projects. The focus of her research is understanding the temporal and spatial distribution of greenhouse gases (primarily carbon dioxide and methane) in the atmosphere, and relating these distributions to sources and sinks of these gases.

Scott Richardson

Dr. Scott Richardson

Research Professor

Scott Richardson is an instrumentation meteorologist involved in a wide variety of applied meteorological engineering research. His varied background in meteorology includes design, fabrication, calibration, deployment, and maintenance of high accuracy mole fraction CO2/CH4/CO measurement networks across the US. To facilitate the network measurements, he developed and currently maintain a high accuracy laboratory calibration system for CO2/CH4/CO. Dr. Richardson also works with surface energy balance, CO2, and CH4 flux network design, deployment, and calibration.

Dr. Benjamin Ahlswede

Assistant Research Professor

Zachary Barkley

Assistant Research Professor

Zach Barkley is an expert in the field of data analysis and emissions quantification. He has worked on multiple aircraft and tower-based observational campaigns designed to study and quantify methane emissions from regional hotspots, including oil and gas basins in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.

Dr. Bernd Haupt

Bernd Haupt is an oceanographer and paleoclimate modeller who has sailed on numerous research cruises throughout the world including the North Atlantic, North Sea, Baltic, South China Sea, and Mediterranean. He is an expert in data management and scripting, and is involved with numerous groups in the College of Earth and Mineral Science.

Jason Horne

Graduate Student

Jason works with Ken Davis and Ying Pan, conducting research under the Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative (BSEC) IFL, The Indianapolis Flux Experiment (INFLUX), and the Susquehanna Shale Hills Critical Zone Observatory. My current research focuses are micrometeorology, surface layer turbulence, microclimate modeling, biometeorology, and urban ecology.
