About
Lieven Clarisse is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the remote sensing of aerosols and trace gases, with a particular emphasis on volcanic emissions and dust transport. His major contributions lie in developing novel satellite retrieval algorithms that transform raw infrared data from instruments like IASI into actionable insights about our planet’s atmosphere. Clarisse’s work has been instrumental in creating the first decadal global dataset of atmospheric dust from IASI, a foundational resource cited over 116 times that enables scientists to study dust’s profound impacts on weather, climate, and the biosphere. He is also renowned for his detailed chemical fingerprinting of volcanic plumes, such as his landmark study on the 2014–2015 Holuhraun eruption in Iceland, which quantified the rapid oxidation of sulfur dioxide into sulfate aerosols and their large-scale impact on air quality. By bridging the gap between satellite observations and atmospheric chemistry, Clarisse has provided critical tools for monitoring natural hazards and understanding aerosol-climate interactions. His work is essential reading for any student or researcher interested in satellite-based atmospheric composition analysis.
