Marc Fischer
Dr. Marc Fischer is a staff scientist with the Atmospheric Sciences Department at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and an adjunct professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at California State University East Bay. Fischer’s research focuses on measurements and modeling of human-ecosystem- atmosphere processes involving trace gases with an emphasis on responses and feedbacks to global change. Fischer’s recent work has included development of a laser-based eddy covariance instrument to measure fluxes of NH3 at field scales, planning and implementation of methods to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from California, improving the spatiotemporal resolution of fossil fuel CO2 combustion maps for the continental U.S., and measurements of carbon cycle response to prairie burning in the Southern Great Plains. Dr. Fischer earned his doctorate degree in physics from the University of California Berkeley.
