Brie Van Dam earned a B.Sc.E. degree in Earth Systems Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan's Engineering School in 2007. She is currently a graduate research assistant at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research in Boulder, CO. investigating the dependencies and controls on exchanges of ozone and nitrogen oxides at the snow-atmosphere boundary. She has been involved in several field campaigns measuring fluxes of these atmospheric constituents at Summit, Greenland, and Toolik Lake, AK, and this research will form the core of her Ph.D. thesis in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science at the University of Colorado, Boulder.



Detlev Helmig is a Research Professor with the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He received his education in Environmental and Analytical Chemistry at the Universities of Bochum and Duisburg in Germany before moving to the US in 1989. His research is on surface gas fluxes, and atmospheric transport and chemistry. Particular current foci are snow cover effects on surface gas exchanges of ozone, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds and studies of the dependencies and controls of ozone deposition fluxes to the ocean.
