Margaret A. Tolbert is an American atmospheric chemist, specializing in polar stratospheric clouds.

Early life and education

Margaret Tolbert grew up in Boulder, Colorado.[1] She is the daughter of Bert Mills Tolbert, a chemistry professor at University of Colorado Boulder, and sister of Elizabeth Tolbert, Caroline Tolbert, and Sarah Tolbert.[2]

Tolbert received a bachelor degree from Grinnell College in 1979 and a master degree in chemistry from University of California in 1985.[3] She received a PhD in chemistry from University of Colorado Boulder in 1986, under the direction of Jesse L. Beauchamp.[4] She completed post-doctoral research at Stanford Research Institute under the direction of David M. Golden.[5] [6]

Career

Tolbert conducted research at Stanford Research Institute before joining the faculty of University of Colorado Boulder in 1991, teaching environmental chemistry courses to nonscience majors from 1992 to 2006. She was awarded Distinguished Professor in 2010. She is a Fellow and Associate Director of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, a joint venture between University of Colorado Boulder and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.[7]

Her research focuses on study of atmospheric chemistry, in particular polar stratospheric clouds[8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] and planetary atmospheres.[14] [15] [16] She co-authored the book "Stratospheric Ozone Depletion" with Ann M. Middlebrook.[17] She was featured in the book "I Want to be an Environmentalist".[18]
