About
Jens Redemann is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the characterization of aerosols and their profound impact on climate and air quality. His work is central to understanding how different aerosol types—from black carbon and organic matter to mineral dust—influence the Earth's radiative balance. Redemann is perhaps best known for his seminal 2010 paper on the Absorption Angstrom Exponent, which has garnered over 677 citations and established a key method for identifying aerosol composition from remote sensing data. He has been instrumental in major field campaigns, including serving as a key architect of the SEAC⁴RS mission, a comprehensive airborne study of atmospheric composition. Redemann’s contributions extend to validating and improving satellite retrievals, notably through his work with CALIOP/CALIPSO and the development of advanced classification methods for spaceborne polarimetry. With a portfolio of highly cited papers—including foundational studies on the HSRL lidar and AERONET networks—his research has provided critical insights into aerosol processes, from local pollution plumes to global climate forcing, making him a pivotal figure in modern aerosol science.
