After studying enviromental sciences and meterology at university in the UK, Kathy worked for 3 years at the UK Meteorological Office before moving to the University of Cambridge in 1987 to do a PhD in Atmospheric Chemistry. During her PhD and subsequent years as a postdoc/ senior research associate/ NERC advanced research fellow at Cambridge, her research interests focused on quantifying the budgets and trends of trace gases such as tropospheric ozone and methane using numerical models and comparison with observations. She has taken part in the organisation of many international airborne campaigns investigating processing in pollutant plumes (e.g. NARE/ACSOE). She has also been an active PI in the MOZAIC project since 1994.

Since 2002 she has been employed as Director of Research by the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) at Service d'Aeronomie (IPSL/UPMC) in Paris, France. Here she has pursued research into the long-range transport of pollutants as part of the ICARTT/ITOP project in particular co-leading the lagrangian field project and IGAC Task ITCT-2K4. She was also a co-coordinator for the participation of the M55-Geophysica aircraft during the AMMA campaign in summer 2006 (also an IGAC Task) as well as leading the global chemical/aerosol modelling effort within AMMA-France/EU. Dr. Law is also co-chair of a new task POLARCAT-IPY which is focusing on transport of trace gases and aerosols to the Arctic in the frame of International Polar Year. Kathy was also a member of CACGP from 1998 to 2006.
