Erika Barth is a Principal Scientist in the Department of Space Studies of the Solar System Science and Exploration Division. Her work is focused on modeling planetary atmospheres. She wrote and primarily works with PlanetCARMA, a microphysics and radiative transfer model that has been applied to study the physics of particles in the atmospheres of Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Titan, Uranus, Neptune, Triton, and Pluto. She also developed the Titan Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (TRAMS) – a 3-D mesoscale model for simulating methane convective storms on Titan and added dust charging to the Mars version (MRAMS) to simulate the development of electric fields from Martian dust devils. Barth received a BS in Physics from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX and a Ph.D. in Astrophysical, Planetary, & Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
