About
Dr. Jennifer Brooke is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the Saharan climate system, particularly the interactions between mineral dust and boundary layer processes. Her most influential work stems from the Fennec climate programme, where she led airborne observational campaigns over the remote Sahara in Mauritania and Mali. Her landmark 2015 paper, "Advances in understanding mineral dust and boundary layer processes over the Sahara from Fennec aircraft observations" (85 citations), provides a foundational description of how dust emissions, transport, and the planetary boundary layer interact in one of Earth’s most extreme environments. This work has been critical for improving climate models and understanding dust’s role in global radiative forcing. Dr. Brooke’s contributions have advanced our knowledge of Saharan meteorology and aerosol dynamics, making her a key figure in desert climate research. Her findings are widely cited by those studying dust-climate feedbacks, and her leadership in the Fennec programme underscores her reputation for conducting transformative field campaigns in challenging terrains.
