Palmer Group - Publications-alt

A chronological list of publications can sometimes hide the wood for the trees. Here, I have attempted to re-order my group publications so our unique contributions to different fields, sometimes built up over decades, should be clearer. Some of which helped to form the bedrock our scientific understanding.

Our key contributions are also included so it is easier for you to see how we can make substantial inroads in apparently different fields.

Within the Dyson classification (that I have employed recklessly to my own fields of research), we are sometimes birds and sometimes frogs.

Natural cycles for CO2 and methane

Key contributions:

revealed the global importance of tropical Africa emissions methane and CO2 budgets, drawing together different lines of model and empirical evidence
pioneered data-driven models to improve our ability to describe wetland emissions to detect changes in Arctic fluxes of CO2
identified the link between changes in the IOD and hydrologically-influenced emissions of methane, hypothesising a new biogeochemical-climate feedback mechanism
leading proponent of a data-driven hypothesis that describes global shift in the methane budget from the midlatitudes towards tropical, biogenic emissions
pioneering the integration of satellite observations that provided a wider interpretation of ground-based and aircraft fieldwork measurements
playing a continued key role in the development, evaluation, and scientific exploitation of satellite observations of CO2 and methane
a populariser of using satellite observations to address key science questions about the carbon cycle

Atmospheric Chemistry

Key contributions:

pioneering (since 2000) the use of satellite observations to understand tropospheric chemistry, particularly formadeldehye related to biogenic and anthropogenic emissions
coauthored one of first inverse method calculations for reactive trace gases that helped influence a new research field
pioneered the quantitative development of formaldehyde retrievals so they could be used to understand changes in terrestrial isoprene emissions, which revealed for the first time isoprene hotspots across the world and ensured formaldehyde remained a key observable for the next generation of satellites
co-developed a hypothesis that describes leaf phenology based on carbon optimality. The model explains the distribution leaf age (confirmed later by fieldwork) and changes in isoprene emissions over the Amazon basin
developed and evaluated a method to infer ocean emissions of isoprene from ocean color, providing a link between ocean isoprene emissions and organic aerosol
reconciled different viewpoints to understand of ozone photochemistry downwind from wildfires, relevant to human health in downwind regions
revealed the existence of nighttime isoprene that helps to reconcile model and observed estimates for tropical upper tropospheric organic aerosol

developed new data science techniques to speed up atmospheric retrievals of exoplanetary atmospheric quantities
revisited Sagan and Salpeter (1976) to confirm life could be sustainable in atmospheric habitable layers, even if the planet is not within its circumstellar habitable zone
highlighted the importance of including organic chemistry into Martian photochemical models to help understand changes in atmospheric methane

Development of data, methods, and instruments

Key contributions:

supported (and led) the development of robust data and reliable methods since 2000 to understand changes in CO2, methane, ozone, PM2.5 and other atmospheric pollutants
played a key role in the development of satellite airborne remote sensing instruments and in situ instruments all of which have flown and delivered new insights
highlighted the importance of the ISS (and any other sensors in inclined orbits) to help understand the tropical carbon cycle, which helped to underpin the argument for the NASA OCO-3 instrument
pioneered the development of new methods to exploit (the then) emerging satellite observations of NO2 and formaldehyde, some of which are still widely used to this day
playing an ongoing role in testing atmospheric transport models, including a framework that has since inspired new controlled release experiments to help us understand model transport errors
