Sander Houweling
Sander Houweling is professor in Atmosphere, Greenhouse Gases, and Climate of the Earth Sciences department of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and affiliated also with NWO-i SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research. His research focuses on the global cycles of long-lived greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and climate impacts of human activities. His research group at the Vrije Universiteit develops methods for estimating greenhouse gas emissions from atmospheric measurements using inverse modeling techniques at global, regional, and local scale. As member of the scientific steering committee of the Integrated Global Greenhouse Gas Information System (IG3IS) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) he is committed to independent evaluation of national greenhouse gas emission reports to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) using atmospheric measurements.
Sessions
This lecture discusses the use of models and data processing methods for efficient use of large volumes of satellite data, with application to atmospheric remote sensing. The lecture will come with exercises to gain hands-on experience using some of the techniques that are discussed.
