Glenn Edmond Shaw is an American scientist specializing in atmospheric physics, especially relating to global climate change and long-range transport of aerosol material.
He is Emeritus Professor of Physics and Atmospheric Science at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and a member of the scientific staff of the Geophysical Institute.
"[1] Shaw's work helped establish sun photometry as a precision remote measurement technique for studying atmospheric aerosols.
Shaw, working with Kenneth Rahn and using neutron activation technique as a chemical fingerprint identified the source regions of haze that builds up in the Arctic.
[16] Based on sun photometry measurements made at Mauna Loa Observatory, Shaw documented global-scale transport of aerosol.
