Hi! I'm Omar! —
I am a scientist working at the intersection of climate,
public
health,
satellite remote-sensing, adjoint
methods, and earth-system modeling.
I am curious about the anthropogenic and natural origins of air pollution, how climate and air pollution
interact, how air pollution impacts health, and how these health impacts can uncover inequities.
Outside of the research projects I have been
involved in and the
scientific papers I have published, I am
interested in sharing the
data I generate and in documenting
and
recording the different methods and techniques I use in tutorials!
Featured figures —
Below is a one-year simulation of surface-level PM2.5 concentrations simulated in a new
nested South America domain (in prep) for the chemical transport model GEOS-Chem classic.
Accompanying this forward model simulation is an adjoint calculation of
sensitivities of PM2.5 in the
city of Santiago, Chile to emissions of its chemical precursors. In the below figure we calculate
sensitivities to ammonia.
