Multi-dimensional Radiative Transfer

Anthony Davis is Research Scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Ca, USA. With degrees in physics from Universite Pierre & Marie Curie (Paris VI), Universite de Montreal and McGill University, he has previously worked as a remote sensing scientist for NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, USA, and the DOE's Los Alamos National Laboratory in NM, USA, where his focus was split between environmental applications and nuclear proliferation detection. Dr. Davis has authored or co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications and been a guest editor for a monograph as well as a special issue. He has organized several focused sessions at conferences, meetings and workshops.



Alexander Marshak received a MS in applied mathematics from Tartu University (Estonia) in 1978 and a PhD in numerical analysis in 1983 from the Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk, Russia). In 1978 he joined the Institute of Astrophysics and Atmospheric Physics (Estonia) and worked there for 11 years. In 1989 he received an Alexander von Humboldt fellowship, and worked for two years at Gottingen University (Germany). He joined GSFC in 1991, first working for SSAI, then UMBC/JCET, and finally, NASA/GSFC where he has been employed since 2003. His duties now include being Mission Scientist for the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) program. He has published over 100 refereed papers and chapters in edited volumes, and he was the primary editor for a 2005 monograph on 3D Radiative Transfer in Cloudy Atmospheres.
