Professional summary
Christina Hood is an experienced developer and user of air quality models at multiple spatial and temporal scales. In her previous employment at Cambridge Environmental Research Consultants she was a key contributor to the ADMS family of local dispersion models and the MAQS system for coupled regional-to-local scale modelling. In 2024 she joined the EMEP4UK modelling group at UKCEH and has gained experience with WRF and EMEP4UK. She has collaborated with a wide range of modelling groups on data sharing and model configuration. She has extensive experience of the evaluation, interpretation and communication of air quality model results through comparison with measurements, spatial analysis and reporting.
