Mark Wenig

Mark O. Wenig received the Intermediate Diploma in physics from the University of Münster, Münster, Germany, in 1995, the Diploma in physics from the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing, University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany, in 1998, and the Ph. D. degree in physics from the Institute of Environmental Physics, University of Heidelberg, in 2001, for his work on satellite measurement of long-term global tropospheric trace gas distributions and source strengths. Since 2005, he has been affiliated with the University of Maryland Baltimore County/GEST to work at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), Greenbelt, MD, on new techniques to combine multidimensional data sets coming from satellite measurements to analyze the impact of trace gases and aerosols on air quality. Dr. Wenig was awarded a National Research Council scholarship from 2002 to 2005 to work at the NASA GSFC, in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Branch on atmospheric data assimilation.
