About
Cathy Clerbaux is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on satellite remote sensing of atmospheric composition, with particular emphasis on aerosols, trace gases, and their impacts on climate and air quality. Her major contributions include the development of innovative retrieval algorithms for the IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) satellite instrument, enabling global-scale monitoring of atmospheric constituents. Notably, her work on "A Decadal Data Set of Global Atmospheric Dust Retrieved From IASI Satellite Measurements" (2019, 116 citations) provides a groundbreaking long-term record of dust aerosols, essential for understanding dust transport, climate forcing, and biogeochemical cycles. Clerbaux’s research has significantly advanced our ability to track pollution, volcanic emissions, and greenhouse gases from space, with her papers collectively garnering thousands of citations. She has also been instrumental in leading international satellite missions and data validation efforts, making her a pivotal figure in Earth observation science. Her work not only deepens our understanding of atmospheric processes but also supports policy-relevant monitoring of environmental change.
