Biography:

Dr. Emmanuel P. Dinnatjoined GEST as an Assistant Research Scientist in March 2007. He obtained his Ph.D in March 2003 from the Laboratoire d'Océanographie Dynamique et de Climatologie (LODYC), Paris, France. His doctoral dissertation was on remote sensing of sea surface salinity, and in particular, the effect of surface roughness. He was a research fellow with the European Space Agency at ESTEC where he worked on the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity mission from 2003 to 2005. In 2005, he joined the GSFC and started to collaborate with David LeVine in code 614 on the development of retrieval algorithms for the mapping of the global salinity field from space under the NASA Postdoctoral Program. In 2006, he was the recipient of a NASA Outstanding Post-Doc/Research Associate Peer Award. In 2008, he was co-author on a paper that received the peer award for outstanding publication from the NASA-GSFC, Hydrospheric and Biospheric Sciences Laboratory. He is a member of the American Geophysical Union.
