Biography

Dr Stephen Platt is a senior scientist at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) specialising in atmospheric composition change. His main research interests include understaning the sources and sinks of greenhouse gases, particularly methane and aerosol chemistry and source apportionment. He is responsible for Norwegian greenhouse gas measurements as part of the International Carbon Observatory (ICOS) and has authored or co-authored several research articles on Arctic Ocean methane fluxes and the global methane budget. He holds a doctorate in Atmospheric Science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, a master’s degree in Environmental Chemistry from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of York, UK.
