Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIvan Ortega is a Scientist V based in Boulder, Colorado, with a decade of experience deciphering atmospheric chemistry through optical remote sensing across ground-based, airborne, and satellite platforms. He designs, builds, and characterizes high-resolution FTIR instruments and leads long-term evaluations of spatial and temporal variability in key trace gases as part of NDACC at sites including Mauna Loa and Thule. His work bridges instrument engineering and data interpretation, turning complex observational datasets into actionable insights about atmospheric composition and change. Trained with a PhD from the University of Colorado Boulder and an M.Sc from UNAM, he combines rigorous academic grounding with hands-on field deployments in extreme environments. An often overlooked strength is his track record of sustaining and improving long-term measurement networks, ensuring continuity and comparability of crucial climate records.
