Dr. Jessie Creamean is originally from a small town in northern Illinois. She went to college at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign where she majored in Chemistry. She then went on to get her MS and PhD from the University of California, San Diego, where she also studied chemistry, but from an atmospheric/climate perspective. Next, she bounced over to NOAA in Boulder, Colorado where she did my postdoc fellowship on aerosol-cloud-precipitation processes in remote regions. And that, friends, is where she fell in love with the Arctic Region. After working as a Research Scientist at NOAA, she wound up here in Fort Collins as a Research Scientist in the CSU Department of Atmospheric Science. A fun fact about Jessie is that she LOVES the cold. She's been to the Arctic 8 times on land and icebreaking ships, and will be adding Antarctica to her list of places she’s worked starting in 2024. Jessie is ALSO an associate editor for 2 major atmospheric journals and has several students and postdocs that work on her projects involving aerosol particles, clouds, sea ice, the ocean, and permafrost. When she is not traveling around the world for work, she loves to enjoy the Colorado lifestyle of climbing, skiing, mountain biking, camping...you name it. She also has two cute, fuzzy golden retrievers, Montana and Whiskey, who are her adventure buddies.
