Jennifer Ann Salmond is a New Zealand academic, and is Professor of Geography at the University of Auckland, specialising in urban air pollution measurement and mitigation.

Academic career

Salmond obtained a Master of Arts from the University of Oxford, followed by a Master of Science at the University of Birmingham. She then completed a PhD titled Vertical mixing of ozone in the very stable nocturnal boundary layer at the University of British Columbia. Salmond then joined the faculty of the University of Auckland, rising to full professor. Salmond is co-Chair of the international urban environmental health consortium Healthy-Polis. She was Vice President for the Auckland branch of the New Zealand Meteorological Society from 2009 to 2016, and has held several roles on the board of the International Association for Urban Climate.

Salmond's research focuses on urban air pollution. She is interested in the causes of urban air pollution, the risks to people from exposure to it, and ways to mitigate it, for instance through urban design or monitoring systems that encourage behaviour change on high pollution days. She has researched instrumentation, measurement and modelling. As part of a Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment Endeavour grant, Salmond has also been examining the risk of exposure to erionite during excavations in Auckland. Erionite is known to be present in Auckland soils, and exposure is associated with mesothelioma. As either principal researcher or co-lead researcher she has received more than $15 million of research funding.
