About
Tsuyoshi Thomas Sekiyama is a leading figure in atmospheric science, whose work has fundamentally advanced the global prediction of aerosols—tiny particles suspended in the air that affect climate, air quality, and human health. His primary research areas include aerosol modeling, data assimilation, and the development of operational forecasting systems. Sekiyama’s most significant contribution is his pivotal role in the International Cooperative for Aerosol Prediction (ICAP), where he helped create the first global multi-model aerosol forecasting ensemble (ICAP-MME). This groundbreaking work, detailed in his highly cited 2015 paper (132 citations), established a basic climatological consensus from multiple operational models, dramatically improving the reliability of aerosol forecasts worldwide. By synthesizing diverse model outputs into a single, robust product, Sekiyama’s research provides a critical tool for everything from tracking volcanic ash and desert dust to predicting the spread of pollutants. His achievements have set a new standard for operational aerosol prediction, making him a key architect of the systems that now monitor our planet’s particulate environment in near-real time.
