<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Starting with her Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Oxford, she has over 20 years of experience in geospace sciences. She joined the Foundation in November of 2004, after serving as
Senior Researcher at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Since that time Therese has served as a Program Officer in the Geospace Sciences Section, accumulating over ten years of experience with the Section and the variety of science that it manages. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">In her time at NSF she has worked on various aspects of aeronomy, solar-terrestrial processes, magnetospheric physics, and space weather. She has played a key role in developing the
Cubesat program and establishing effective collaborations with NASA to enable low-cost satellite missions that both promote and develop geospace science, and engage and inspire students. She developed the Space Weather program in GS and has contributed to
strategic planning for the National Space Weather Program. Among her achievements in development of Space Weather research capabilities is her support of the development of the AMPERE project, which utilized the existing commercial Iridium constellation of
satellites to routinely collect geomagnetic field data. Among her passions and achievements is the promotion of diversity in Geospace Sciences. Therese joins the other two Section Heads in AGS, Pat Harr (Atmosphere Section) and Sarah Ruth (NCAR and Facilities
Section), completing the AGS Leadership Team. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
