About
Hannah M. Horowitz is a researcher specializing in atmospheric science, with a particular focus on aerosol characterization and climate modeling over the African continent. Her work addresses a critical gap in climate science: understanding how African aerosol particles — primarily dust and biomass burning emissions — influence the radiative forcing of the climate system. Horowitz's most notable contribution is her rigorous evaluation of climate model performance in capturing the seasonal and spatial variability of African aerosols, leveraging observational data from the AERONET network to benchmark model simulations. Her 2017 paper on this topic has garnered 37 citations, reflecting its value to the broader climate modeling community. In the same year, she extended this work through an analysis of CCAM aerosol simulations, further deepening the understanding of aerosol climatology across Africa. By bridging observational datasets with model evaluation, Horowitz's research helps improve the accuracy of climate projections in a region that remains underrepresented in global climate studies. Her contributions are particularly relevant for researchers working to reduce uncertainties in aerosol-climate interactions and refine the representation of African emission sources in Earth system models.
