Lucy Jane Carpenter is a Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of York and Director of the Cape Verde Atmospheric Observatory (CVAO).[1][4][3][5][6][7]

Education

Carpenter studied Chemistry at the University of Bristol[1] followed by a PhD in atmospheric chemistry at the University of East Anglia supervised by Stuart Penkett[1] and awarded in 1996.[8]

Research and career

Her group studies the complex interaction between the oceans and the atmosphere, in particular the chemistry of reactive halogens, organic carbon, and reactive nitrogen.[1] Her work on oceanic and atmospheric halogens has established this chemistry as an important component of tropospheric ozone cycling and makes use of gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GCMS).[9][10][11]

She helped establish the Cape Verde Atmospheric Observatory, one of a few dozen World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) stations worldwide which monitor climate and air quality gases over long time scales, and was a lead chapter author of the WMO/United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) 2014 scientific assessment of ozone depletion.[1]

Her former doctoral students include Chris Reed,[12] Marvin Shaw,[13] Stephen Andrews,[14] Sina Hackenberg,[15] Tomás Sherwen[16] and Adam Vaughan.[17]

Awards and honours

Carpenter was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize in 'Earth Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences' in 2006, and was awarded the Rosalind Franklin Award from the Royal Society in 2015 for "her scientific achievement, her suitability as a role model and her project proposal to promote women in STEM".[2] She received the Tilden Prize in 2017.
