Dr. Luke Oman is a Research Physical Scientist in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Laboratory at NASA Goddard. He is the Project Scientist for STRIVE (Stratosphere Troposphere Response using Infrared Vertically-resolved light Explorer) which is an Earth System Explorer Mission. Dr. Oman leads, as Instrument Scientist, the development of the Advance Limb Infrared Chemistry Experiment (ALICE) which is the primary instrument for STRIVE. His research interest centers on using satellite observations and chemistry climate models to understand atmospheric processes. His current research focuses on advancing our understanding of the interactions of chemistry and dynamics in both natural variations and climate change impacts on the ozone layer. Dr. Oman received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences from Rutgers University with a focus on volcanic eruptions and climate. He received a B.S. in Meteorology and a B. A. in Journalism and Mass Media also from Rutgers University.
