Dr. Campbell is a post-doctoral researcher at the Geophysical
Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, Alaska, USA, as a member of the Atmospheric
Sciences Group. He received his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences from UAF
in 2006. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Meteorology from the University of Utah, Salt Lake City,
Utah, in 1993 and 1997, respectively. In between graduate degrees, he was a research meteorologist with
Science Systems and Applications, Inc., Lanham, Maryland, working in the Laboratory for Atmospheres at the
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland. In February 2005, he was based at the National
Institute for Polar Research, Tokyo, Japan, as a visiting scientist. At NASA, he received an Outstanding
Achievement Award in 2000 for contractor performance on behalf of the Mesoscale Atmospheric Processes Branch.
Dr. Campbell’s scientific experience and research/teaching interests come in the areas of atmospheric remote sensing,
cloud and aerosol physics and applied meteorology. The focus of his work is the characterization of cloud
and aerosol physical properties using lidar (light detection and ranging) instruments. He played a primary
support role in the development of the global Micropulse Lidar Network (MPLNET) for the NASA Earth Observing
System project begun in 2000, and serves now as a project science team member responsible for polar network
sites and datasets. Dr. Campbell is the author of over twenty refereed journal publications and numerous
regular papers and abstracts at national and international conferences.
