Jasmin John is the Deputy Director of the Ocean Chemistry and Ecosystems Division of NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). Jasmin comes to AOML from NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) in Princeton, New Jersey where, as a physical scientist, she conducted research focused on understanding the legacy effects of climate change on the Earth system, particularly the ocean and marine ecosystems. Jasmin additionally served as the technical lead for the management and development of GFDL’s Earth System Models on various high performance computing platforms in support of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project/Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and other science initiatives.  As the Deputy Director of the Ocean Chemistry and Ecosystems Division at AOML, she will tend to both research and administrative duties for the division’s 50+ scientists and support staff.
