Introduction

This page provides an overview of the work performed at the University of Oxford in the Earth Observation Data Group (EODG). The principal focus of EODG is the retrieval of atmospheric properties (e.g. temperature, pressure, trace gas concentrations, aerosol and cloud properties) from data gathered by Earth Observing satellites.

People		Research
	The Earth Observation Data Group comprises two permanent academic staff members, five post docs, and five D.Phil. students. Job vacancies for post-doctoral employment (if any are available) are listed here.		EODG scientists conduct research that helps build our understanding of the properties and processes in the troposphere and stratosphere, particularly in relation to anthropogenically induced climate change and stratospheric ozone loss. EODG members have expertise in infrared limb observations of trace gases and in nadir imager measurements of aerosol and cloud. The satellite retrieval work is complemented by related modelling studies and laboratory measurements.
Ph.D. Opportunities		Publications
	Each year the EODG accepts students to undertake a Ph.D. degree (called a D.Phil. in Oxford). Follow the links to see past student reports and theses while topics available for the forthcoming admissions round can be found at Graduate Admissions. The next career steps of several of our D.Phil. students are listed here.		Our scientific results are presented at meetings (recent posters) or published in journals (publication list). Some of our work appears as student reports or as technical documents.
