Dr. Annmarie Eldering is the Deputy Project Scientist for the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2.

Annmarie received her Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering Science from Caltech in 1994 and has been at JPL since 1999, serving in the AIRS group, TES group, and as a section manager, previous to joining the OCO-2 project. She provides dynamic technical leadership to both teams for the extraction of information about clouds, aerosols, and trace gases in the Earth's atmosphere. She is the Principal Investigator or a co-Investigator on a number of competitively awarded research tasks, and has worked on a number of mission concepts. Recently, she has been an active member of the GEO-CAPE Science Working Group, and served as the TES Deputy PI and then PI.

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.
