Dr. Paul Hamer is a Researcher within the Urban Environment and Industry department at NILU.
He has a PhD in atmospheric chemistry from the University of Bristol. He has over 20 years of experience working in the field of atmospheric sciences and has published on a broad range of research topics. His core expertise is in working with numerical models of the atmosphere and land surface and in working with data assimilation and satellite observations.
He has a strong interest in air quality, climate change, and land surface processes. As such, his recent research has focused on the impacts that climate and extreme weather have on surface fluxes (deposition and emissions) of air pollutants and their precursors.
Furthermore, he has a strong interest in providing a vital link between air quality science and policymakers through his activities within the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service.
Paul is motivated by the need to provide scientific knowledge to society to help decision making in relation to air quality management and climate change policy.
Paul David Hamer has 78 publications at NILU:

Sentinel EO-based Emission and Deposition Service (SEEDS)
The SEEDS project is a Horizon 2020 funded project. SEEDS aims at using all available satellite observations to improve estimates of European air quality and pollutant emissions. In addition to the […]
Development of a pollen information service based on data from Sentinel satellite plattforms– Phase 2 (SEN4POL-2)
The project is a continuation of the first phase of the SEN4POL project and will evaluate the potential of using satellite data for mapping and predicting birch pollen in Norway. […]
CitySatAir
More than half of the world’s population is living in cities. According to the WHO air quality database, 80% of people living in urban areas that monitor air pollution are […]
Model Advancements for high Spatial and TEmporal Resolution simulations of environmental toxics (SIS MASTER)
The main goal of the project is to modify and enhance NILUs existing atmospheric models to allow for improved simulation of traditional air pollutants (e.g., NO2, PM2.5, PM10) at very […]
