Chairs and co-chairs
Thorsten Fehr is heading the Atmospheric Section in the European Space Agency’s Earth Observation Directorate where his team is responsible for the scientific preparation of ESA’s atmospheric research and operational satellite missions. Thorsten earned his PhD in Atmospheric Physics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) studying the impact of lightning induced nitrogen oxide emissions on ozone chemistry using models, airborne and ground-based cloud and atmospheric chemistry measurements. Following further research activities in this domain, he joined the European Space Agency (ESA) in Italy being responsible for the quality of satellite remote sensed atmospheric chemistry products. Later, Thorsten moved to the ESA center in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, first as campaign scientist and later taking reasonability for the Atmospheric Section. He is the Mission Scientist for ESA’s Aeolus and EarthCARE missions and supported the TRUTHS mission in this role until early 2024.
