 Physicist 

Marvin is an atmospheric physicist specializing in greenhouse gas emission measurements. He joined the MethaneSAT team in August 2024, where he contributes to advancing our methods for estimating emissions on regional scales. Marvin’s work centers on quantifying total emissions and producing detailed regional flux maps. He earned his PhD from Heidelberg University in Germany, where he broke new ground by deploying a ground-based spectral camera for carbon dioxide and methane emission monitoring.
