Noribeth Mariscal

Hi! My name is Noribeth Mariscal, and I am an atmospheric scientist specializing in air pollution modeling. I recently earned my PhD in Civil Engineering and Urban Sustainability at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, where I worked with Dr. Yaoxian Huang (Huang Research Lab). My work focuses on the development and application of chemical transport models to understand air quality at exposure relevant scales. In August 2025, I will be beginning a postdoctoral position in the Environmental Modelling Group, at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany.

Research Expertise and Interests

My research focuses on:

  • Global Chemistry-Climate Modeling at Exposure Relevant Scales: Employ the regional refinement capabilities of CESM/MUSCIAv0 at resolutions of ~7 km or more.
  • Tropospheric Ozone Chemistry: Explore the impact of different emission scenarios on ozone production and loss processes in Southeast Michigan, US.
  • Field Campaigns: Participation in the 2021 & 2022 Michigan-Ontario Ozone Source Experiment (MOOSE) and the 2024 Utah Summer Ozone Study (USOS).

I am particularly interested in projects that address the impacts of tropospheric ozone atmospheric chemistry and its interaction with air pollution, human, and ecosystem health, using a high-resolution global modeling approach.

Skills

  • Earth System Modeling: Extensive experience using the MUlti-Scale Infrastructure for Chemistry and Aerosols, Version 0 (MUSICAv0) and the Community Atmosphere Model with chemistry (CAM-chem) within the Community Earth System Model (CESM).
  • Programming Languages: Proficient in Python and bash. Familiarity with FORTRAN and NCL.
  • Big Data Analysis: Experience processing data from ground stations, aircraft data, mobile laboratory data, ground-based remote sensing.
  • Languages: Native speaker of English and Spanish.
  • Communication: Skilled at writing scientific publications and presenting at conferences.

Key Achievements

  • Collaborated on the MOOSE and USOS field campaigns, contributing to the collection of stationary measurements and data processing of ozone and nitrogen oxides from Thermo Scientific analyzers and formaldehyde from the Picarro G2307.
  • Awarded the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Advanced Study Program Graduate Student Fellowship and the NCAR Atmospheric Chemistry Observations and Modeling (ACOM) Ralph Cicerone Fellowship, which has allowed me to work with Dr. Louisa Emmons throughout my PhD.
  • Selected as a participant for the 2024 ASP Colloquium on Integrating Atmospheric and Social Approaches to Improve Urban Air Quality.
  • Delivered presentations at the American Geophysical Union Annual Meetings, the CESM Workshop, and the International Association for Great Lakes Research.
