About
Gede Dedy Krisnawan is an environmental researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of atmospheric aerosols, biomass burning, and climate dynamics in Southeast Asia. His most cited study, "Why was the sky red in Jambi during the forest fire?" (2021), investigates a striking phenomenon during the 2019 Indonesian forest fire season, when extreme biomass burning—exacerbated by El Niño—produced over 7,000 hotspots in Jambi alone. Using sun photometer measurements from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET), Krisnawan demonstrated how dense smoke aerosols selectively scattered sunlight, turning the sky red on September 21. This paper, with 3 citations, has become a key reference for understanding aerosol optical properties during peatland fires. His research bridges atmospheric science and disaster management, offering critical insights into how large-scale biomass burning alters local weather and visibility. Krisnawan’s work is particularly notable for its clear, accessible explanation of complex aerosol physics, making it valuable for students and policymakers alike. By linking satellite data with ground-based observations, he has advanced our understanding of fire-induced atmospheric anomalies in tropical regions, highlighting the urgent need for improved fire mitigation strategies.
