Sulfur Tracking Program

Dr. Golja received her PhD from Harvard University, where her dissertation work focused on aerosol microphysics related to stratospheric aerosol injection strategies, supervised by Professor David Keith. She subsequently led a multi-institution consortium across Imperial College London, the University of Leeds, the University of Exeter, and the University of Bristol on a UKRI-funded project advancing holistic risk assessment of stratospheric aerosol injection. Her work spans both the process-level science of aerosol behavior and the governance implications of solar radiation management, making her uniquely positioned to lead a program at the intersection of both.

Dr. Roesch completed her PhD at the University of Edinburgh in 2024 under the supervision of Professor Gabi Hegerl, where she developed detection and attribution methods to separate the climate signal of aerosol forcing from that of greenhouse gases, precisely the scientific problem STP is designed to resolve at observational scale. She subsequently joined the Gentine Lab at Columbia University as a postdoctoral researcher focusing on causal machine learning for climate applications. She continues to collaborate with academic and industry partners on the development of machine learning methods for climate and weather prediction, modelling and risk analysis.
