Sarah Connors
-
EGU Fellow of the European Geosciences Union
September 2015 – December 2016
Sarah Connors held the first Science Policy Fellowship at EGU. Based in the EGU Executive Office in Munich, Sarah’s responsibilities were two-fold: to inform EGU members on science policy issues, and to highlight the EGU’s scientific expertise to relevant policy institutions. These activities involved establishing the EGU website with science policy resources, organising relevant sessions at the General Assembly, providing a point of contact for policy organisations looking to find scientific advice, and representing the EGU at related conferences.
Before joining the EGU, Sarah studied for a PhD in Atmospheric Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. Her thesis focused on estimating greenhouse gas emissions in the East of England. Additionally, she spent 3 months working at the UK Centre for Science and Policy during her PhD.
