Earth Observation Scientist - Coal Mine Methane at Ember. Ember is recruiting an expert in satellite data to work in our team of analysts working on coal mine methane (CMM). This crucial role includes obtaining and curating satellite data on methane emissions, understanding its limitations, analysing data, and writing reports that highlight the findings and the implications for real-world monitoring and reduction of CMM emissions. . Ember’s methane team is unique in that we work specifically on emissions from coal mining - a source of methane emissions as important as gas or oil, but which is neglected by comparison in the scientific, advocacy and political worlds. Our mission is to understand the scale of the problem, highlight its importance, and move governments and industry towards better monitoring and abatement.. As our satellite analyst you will play a critical role in generating analysis and reports that highlight the scale of the problem. Working with our regional analysts based in countries such as India, Indonesia and Australia, you will generate some of the accurate and compelling data that is necessary to underpin effective advocacy and drive progress. Key responsibilities. . Use open and commercial satellite data products to generate insights into methane emissions from coal mines.. . Produce detailed reports, media- and social media-ready content to raise awareness and profile of coal mine methane.. . Help develop interactive dashboards that combine satellite and global methane datasets to support wider sharing of information and findings.. . Stay up to date with the latest scientific literature on methane, identifying useful datasets and extracting key messages from publications that can support and inform Ember’s research. . Establish and nurture networks with NGOs, academia, and the remote sensing community to inform Ember’s work and encourage engagement on coal mine methane.. . Represent Ember at academic conferences and events, planting the seeds for two-way engagement: identifying valuable data from researchers while also encouraging future research directions aligned with Ember’s priorities. . Must have. . Experience working with satellite remote sensing and geospatial data, particularly in relation to GHG emissions. . A background in the physical sciences. . Proficiency in handling geospatial file formats (e.g. raster, shapefile, netCDF) using a programming language (preferably Python using geospatial libraries like GeoPandas, Rasterio, Shapely, PyProj). . Experience with version control (GitHub) and geospatial data visualisation (e.g. QGIS, ArcGIS, Python). . Strong written communication skills, with the ability to craft clear, accurate reports for non-academic audiences. . Self-motivated and curious, with the ability to work independently in a globally distributed, multidisciplinary team (including policy analysts, journalists, and scientists). . Skilled at communicating complex ideas to audiences with varying levels of expertise. . Ability to pivot between detailed technical work and public-facing outputs . . A passion for tackling climate change. . Proficiency in written and spoken English. . . Nice to have. . Familiarity with specific methane sensors (e.g. TROPOMI, GHGSat, EMIT) and how they function. . PhD or MSc in climate science, atmospheric science, or remote sensing. . Experience using Google Earth Engine to extract and process satellite data. . Knowledge of gridded methane inventories (e.g. EDGAR, GFEI). . Project management experience. . An established network in the satellite observation community, incorporating both academia or industry. . Language skills for countries where CMM is a major issue. . Company Location: United Kingdom.
