Lucy Jane Carpenter (born 21 October 1969) is a British chemist who is a professor of physical chemistry at the University of York and director of the Cape Verde Atmospheric Observatory (CVAO).
[1][6] Her work on oceanic and atmospheric halogens has established this chemistry as an important component of tropospheric ozone cycling and makes use of gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GCMS).
She received a Philip Leverhulme Prize in 'Earth Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences' in 2006, and was given the Rosalind Franklin Award from the Royal Society in 2015 for "her scientific achievement, her suitability as a role model and her project proposal to promote women in STEM".
[11] She was awarded the 2024 Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal "for establishing a critical link between the production of trace gases in and over the oceans, atmospheric chemistry, and climate change".
