Lei Hu

Dr. Lei Hu is a research physical scientist at NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML). She obtained her Ph.D. at Texas A&M University in 2012 and has been working at GML since then. 

At GML, she led the development of national-scale inverse modeling efforts that help infer US national and regional emissions and removals of greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances from GML’s long-term atmospheric measurements. She and her colleagues have also developed CarbonTracker-Lagrange and US Emission Tracker for Potent GHGs. Her work was incorporated into the U.S. EPA’s annual Greenhouse Gas Inventory and used to evaluate US national greenhouse gas reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
