Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Michael Mishchenko is a Physical Scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York. He gained his PhD in Physics at the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences in 1987, and has since been Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator on several NASA projects and has served as Topical Editor and Editorial Board Member of several leading scientific journals. His research interests include electromagnetic scattering, radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres and surfaces, and remote sensing.

Larry Travis is presently Associate Chief of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. He gained his PhD in Astronomy at Pennsylvania State University in 1971. He has acted as Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator on several NASA projects, and was awarded a NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal. His research interests include theoretical interpretation of remote sensing measurements of polarization, planetary atmospheres, atmospheric dynamics, and radiative transfer.

Andrew Lacis is a Physical Scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and teaches radiative transfer at Colombia University. He gained his PhD in Physics at the University of Iowa in 1970, and has acted as Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator of several NASA and DOE projects. His research interests include radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres, absorption of solar radiation by the Earth's atmosphere, and climate modelling.
