Eric Bucsela

Eric J. Bucsela received the B.S. degree in physics from Emory University, Atlanta, GA, in 1983, and the M. S. degree in electrical science and the Ph. D. degree in physics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1986 and 1994, respectively. He is currently an Associate Research Scientist at the GEST/University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), Baltimore. His work has involved aeronomy of the dayglow using in situ sounding-rocket measurements. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Naval Research Laboratory in 1997. He has worked with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, since 1999, through affiliations with Raytheon, SSAI, and, most recently, the UMBC. His work involves satellite data analysis to investigate physical and chemical properties of the stratosphere and troposphere. His current research is a collaborative effort with the Netherlands' KNMI to retrieve trace-gas amounts from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument, onboard the EOS-Aura satellite.
