Biography

Shari Yvon-Lewis is a Professor and Department Head at Texas A&M University, where she specializes in Chemical Oceanography and Trace Gas Biogeochemistry. Her research focuses on the role of oceans in regulating atmospherically important trace gases, including halocarbons such as methyl halides and trihalomethanes, along with nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane. Through ship-board measurements and laboratory studies, she investigates the distribution and strength of oceanic sources and sinks, and their impacts on gas exchange between the ocean and atmosphere. Dr. Yvon-Lewis's work includes modeling efforts to examine the role and magnitude of oceanic influences on trace gases that are significant for atmospheric chemistry, particularly in relation to stratospheric ozone depletion and greenhouse gas emissions. Her dedication to understanding the complexities of ocean-atmosphere interactions is reflected in her extensive fieldwork and contributions to the academic community.
