Dr. Annmarie Eldering is the Section Manager of the Earth Atmospheric Science Section in JPL's Science Division. She also serves as the Depputy PI of Aura TES.

Annmarie received her Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering Science from Caltech in 1994 and has been at JPL since 1999, now as a section manager, previously in the TES group and in the AIRS group. She provides dynamic technical leadership to both teams for the extraction of information about clouds and aerosols in the Earth's atmosphere. She is the Principal Investigator or a co-Investigator on a number of competitively awarded research tasks, and lead the mission concept development for SH2OUT, on the measurement of profiles of water vapor isotopic ratios, which was submitted as a response to the NRC decadal study RFI. Recently, she has been an active member of the GEO-CAPE Science Working Group.

Furthermore, Annmarie is adjunct professor at UCLA, where she teaches, and supervises students and postdocs. She maintains research collaborations with the UCLA faculty as well as the atmospheric modeling community at NCAR. Prior to joining JPL Annmarie was an Assistant Professor at the University of Iowa.
