Anna Karion (Fed)

Mechanical Engineer

Anna Karion is a research scientist in the NIST Greenhouse Gas Measurements program, supporting the Urban Testbed program.  She is the Principal Investigator of the Northeast Corridor Urban Testbed Project. The Urban Testbed project seeks to advance the capability of methodologies for estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from urban regions.  These methods include making observations of GHG concentrations in the atmosphere and interpreting them to determine emissions, trends in emissions, the effectiveness of mitigation efforts, and source sector attribution for emissions of different GHGs.
