Walter Ham
Dr. Walter Ham is the manager of the Advanced Monitoring Techniques Section at the California Air Resources Board (CARB) where his research focuses on air pollution's impacts on climate change and human health. Much of his work involves developing and utilizing novel measurement tools such as mobile measurement platforms, roadside screening devices, and air quality sensors to understand source-receptor relationships in support of regulatory programs. His programs at CARB utilize non-traditional monitoring technology and methods to conduct community air monitoring around sources such as industrial facilities and traffic corridors. His work also includes updating and expanding CARB's greenhouse gas monitoring network and initiating short-lived climate pollutant monitoring. He obtained his BS from the University of Georgia and PhD from the University of California, Davis.
