Environmental Sciences (CIRES) is seeking a Research
Associate to support the NOAA/ESRL/GMD/CCGG Aircraft
Project. This project is part of a larger CCGG program to
study the carbon cycle with specific emphasis on
understanding the North American continent’s carbon budget
and identifying and understanding carbon sources and sinks
on regional and continental scales. Duties<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
• Assist in the acquisition and quality control of in-situ
(analysis during flight) and flask (post flight analysis
at Boulder Lab) measurements from a network of airborne
platforms in North America.<span
