    Dr. Graeme Stephens is Co-Director of the Center for Climate Sciences at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). He is also a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Colorado State University (CSU), Ft. Collins, after spending 26 years there and serving as director of a NOAA cooperative center at CSU. Dr. Stephens currently serves as co-chair of the GEWEX SSG, a panel that oversees the water cycle science activities of the WCRP. His areas of research include research on interactions between solar and infrared radiation and the terrestrial atmosphere, and in use of remote sensing for understanding the Earth’s energy budget and how it relates to the planet’s hydrological cycle. His awards and recognition include AMS Houghton and Jule Charney Awards, the IAMAS IRC Gold Medal for career contributions to radiation sciences, the Jule Charney Lecturer at AGU, he is a recipient of the NASA Rotary Stellar Award, the NASA Exceptional Public Service Medal and was also elected to the NAE, and to the fellows of AMS, AGU and AAAS. In 2018, Dr. Stephens was inducted as a Fellow into The Royal Society. less

    Margaret Srinivasan came to JPL in 2000. In addition to her Manager role in the Center for Climate Sciences, she is the Surface Water & Ocean Topography (SWOT) Deputy Program Associate (DPA), the Altimeter Applications Lead for the Jason-series ocean altimeter missions, and is on the Management Staff for the AIRS Project. In her Applications roles she manages programs to engage end users for mission data and information products that reflect the high value of the data from these international collaborations. Promoting science data applications to current and potential operational users of Jason, Sentinel 6, SWOT and NASA’s gravity missions supports operations, policy development, and informs and educates the public education about these resources.

    Margaret began her career as an Exploration Geophysicist, processing and interpreting seismic data for energy exploration in Asia and Europe. She also worked in the Environmental Division of the same company, managing environmental projects at domestic facilities, and later moved to an independent petroleum engineering firm as the Manager of Environmental Projects before joining JPL. She has a BS degree in Geophysics from the University of Texas, and an MS degree in Environmental Sciences and Policy from Johns Hopkins University. less
