About
Dr. Emily Fischer is a professor in the department of Atmospheric Sciences at Colorado State University. Her research uses both field-based and applied modeling approaches to investigate the sources of atmospheric trace gases to remote environments. An underlying goal of her work is to improve our understanding of the role of climate in determining the atmosphere's self-cleansing capacity. Past research during her PhD at the University of Washington focused on the transpacific transport of Asian air pollutants. Emily has been a NOAA Climate and Global Change Fellow, and a Harvard Center for the Environment Fellow. Emily really enjoys being a part of interdisciplinary teams working on issues related to air quality. In this vein, she is currently working on the impact of oil and gas development on local and global air quality. She has a number of projects related to forest fires, air quality and health. Emily is also leading a mentoring program for college-level women interested in the geosciences.
