Short bio
William H. Brune is Distinguished Professor and Head of the Penn State Department of Meteorology. He received a B.S. in Physics from Southwestern at Memphis in 1973 and a Ph.D. in physics from Johns Hopkins University in 1978. His research topic was on ultraviolet observations of astrophysical objects such as comets, hot stars, and the diffuse galactic background. As a Research Associate at Harvard University, he studied the chemistry that causes stratospheric ozone loss and the Antarctic Ozone Hole. He joined the faculty of the Penn State Department of Meteorology in 1988. At Penn State, he has studied the chemistry of the lower atmosphere that causes ozone and particle pollution. He develops and deploys instruments to study atmospheric chemistry in large, multi-investigator field campaigns and analyzes the results using simple models. He has served on numerous advisory committees and is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society. |
