Lynn Russell is a professor of atmospheric chemistry at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography a division of the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla, California.[1]

Education and career

[edit]

Russell has a B.S. in chemical engineering and an A.B. in international relations from Stanford University.[2] She earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from California Institute of Technology in 1995.[3] She was a postdoctoral investigator at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). From 1997 to 2003, Russell was on the faculty at Princeton University; she unsuccessfully sued the trustees of Princeton for sex discrimination after her 2002 tenure application was denied.[4][5] Russell moved to Scripps Institute of Oceanography in 2003.[1]

In 2017, Russell was appointed a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union for "pioneering contributions to the fundamental science of organic aerosols through innovative theory, instrumentation, measurements, and modeling".[6]

Research

[edit]

Russell's research is on how particles in the atmosphere effect climate, particularly aerosols from pollution sources such as automobiles. While Russell was at Princeton she developed the use of remote-controlled aircraft to collect atmospheric data.[7] She has examined the factors controlling the production of organic aerosol particles in the atmosphere[8][9] and the impact of aerosols on global warming.[10] Russell's research has defined the composition of organic compounds in atmospheric aerosols[9][11] and linked the presence of aerosol particles in the atmosphere to the underlying seawater.[12][13]

Russell has examined dust particles at multiple locations. Yang Yang and Russell used the Community Earth System Model to study aerosols above eastern China[14] and observed that variability in the dust particles impacted the level of haze in the region.[15][16] Within the United States, Russell has tracked aerosol particles from Las Vegas, Nevada into California.[17] Russell has also demonstrated the feasibility[18] of using biofuels during research cruises by replacing the diesel fuel with biofuel on the research vessel R.V. Robert Gordon Sproul and examining the resulting production of NOx compounds, particulate material,[19] and hydroxy radicals.[20]
