About

Antonella Boselli is a leading atmospheric physicist specializing in aerosol remote sensing, with a particular focus on the vertical profiling of atmospheric particles using lidar and radiometer synergies. Her most significant contribution is the development of the Lidar-Radiometer Inversion Code (LIRIC), a groundbreaking algorithm that enables the simultaneous processing of lidar and sun photometric data to retrieve high-resolution vertical aerosol concentration profiles. This work, published in 2016 and cited over 139 times, has become a cornerstone methodology within the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET), facilitating standardized aerosol characterization across the continent. Boselli has also advanced the understanding of long-range aerosol transport, as demonstrated in her study of a moderate Saharan dust event affecting southern Europe during the ADRIMED/ChArMEx campaign. Her research extends to volcanic hazard assessment, where she pioneered multi-sensor analysis of weak, long-lasting volcanic plumes—a critical yet understudied threat to aviation and public health. Through her development of operational retrieval codes and multi-platform observational strategies, Boselli has provided the atmospheric science community with essential tools for monitoring air quality, climate forcing, and natural hazards.
