Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) - or NOAA Research - provides the research foundation for understanding the complex systems that support our planet.
While the women of NOAA Research contribute to innovative and impactful progress towards NOAA’s mission year-round, we take the month of March, Women’s History Month, as an opportunity to get to know them on a deeper level. One of NOAA’s research areas in which women are making critical contributions is in the monitoring of global greenhouse gas concentrations, which continue to rise and impact local and global systems in ways we are still working to understand.

Monica is in charge of the Measurement of Atmospheric Gases that Influence Climate Change project. She analyzes samples from all over the world and measures the concentrations of the six major greenhouse gases.

Additionally, she is working on a story about CPO’sprogram investments in wildfire smoke and wildland-urban interface research.
Read about when Eleanor feels most empowered as well as how she keeps a positive mindset while working in a climate related field by clicking here. When it comes to greenhouse gas and air quality research, she wants people to know that it takes a large team to collect atmospheric and climate data. It includes a strong administrative team, collaborative technicians in the lab, the field team making the measurements and repairing instruments, and another team to quality control and publish the data.
