Biography
Joel Susskind received his A.B. from Columbia College in 1964 and his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Berkeley in 1968, where he did experimental and theoretical research in laboratory microwave spectroscopy. He had post-doctoral positions at the University of Minnesota and Florida State University, doing instrumental and theoretical research in high-resolution infra-red laboratory spectroscopy. He is currently a Senior Scientist in the Laboratory for Atmospheres at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, where he has worked since 1977 doing research in infra-red and microwave remote sensing. Dr. Susskind served as NASA Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite Project Scientist, and is now the NPP Sounder Scientist, and the HES Sounder Scientist, as well as a member of the AIRS Science Team. He received the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal in 1985 and the Goddard Space Flight Center Exceptional Achievement Award in 1988.
