Dr. Jessie Creamean just returned from the ARTofMELT expedition to the Arctic, working out on the sea ice to determine how cloud formation in polar regions is impacted by climate change. Jessie is an atmospheric scientist at Colorado State University. She is a researcher who studies tiny specks of material in the air called “aerosols” that become airborne from things like plants, soils, and the ocean, and how those aerosols help clouds form in the Arctic and Antarctic atmospheres. Jessie has been to the Arctic many times over the last 7 years. When she's not researching the polar atmospheres, she likes to have adventures in the Colorado Rocky Mountains with het two golden retrievers, Whiskey and Montana.
