Steven Ghan Editor-in-Chief for JGR-Atmospheres
Congratulations to Dr. Steven Ghan, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Fellow and climate scientist, for being appointed Editor-in-Chief of the Atmospheres section of the Journal of Geophysical Research(JGR-A). After serving 5 years as an editor, Ghan was appointed by American Geophysical Union's (AGU) Council to lead the journal's editorial direction for the next 4 years. As Editor-in-Chief, Ghan will ensure the journal's consistent strategic direction, lead the editor selection and workload processes, and serve as the journal's ambassador to the scientific community.
Project Won to Lead Black Carbon Research in Russian Arctic
Battelle, which operates Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has won a $1M contract to assess levels of black carbon in the Arctic and test techniques to reduce these greenhouse gas sources. As part of the cooperative agreement with Environmental Protection Agency, over the next 3 years researchers working at the Joint Global Change Research Institute(JGCRI) will provide technical expertise and project management for baseline emissions inventories of black carbon from diesel burning.
