Affiliation

CIRES

Ilana is a Research Scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder, and an affiliate with the NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL). She re-joined the laboratory in 2024 to lead measurements of carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), ethane (C₂H₆), nitrous oxide (N₂O), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O₃) from various platforms, including the NOAA WP-3D, the NOAA Twin Otter, and the CSL mobile laboratory. Ilana previously worked at the laboratory via CIRES from 2009 to 2014 measuring reactive nitrogen species (NO, NO₂, NOy) and ozone (O₃) and deploying these instruments on the NOAA WP-3D and NASA DC-8 airborne platforms. Ilana also brings expertise in measuring reduced nitrogen (ammonia) from airborne platforms including the NSF/NCAR LAOF aircraft and the NASA DC-8 from prior research experiences.

Education

Ph.D., Chemistry, University of Pennsylvania, 2004
B.A., Chemistry, Franklin & Marshall College, 1999

Research

Measurements and quantification of emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, and oxidized and reduced reactive nitrogen species.
