Lin Chambers is the director of the S’COOL and MY NASA DATA Projects,
as well as the contrail scientist for the GLOBE Program. She received her education in aeronautical/aerospace engineering.
After 10 years of work on problems relating to spacecraft reentering Earth’s atmosphere after visits to Earth orbit, the Moon, and Mars,
she switched over to the related problem of radiative transfer in the atmosphere itself (without man-made objects).
She is interested in the effects of clouds on the movement of solar radiation, as well as engaging students and the public with NASA science.
