About
Jeroen Rietjens is a leading figure in atmospheric aerosol research, with a focus on advancing polarimetric remote sensing. His work centers on the development and application of high-precision instruments and retrieval algorithms to characterize aerosols from space, a critical factor for understanding climate and air quality. A major contribution is his involvement with the SPEXone instrument on NASA’s PACE mission, where his team delivered the first aerosol retrieval results, demonstrating the power of multi-angle polarimetry for global monitoring. His impact is also evident from his leadership in the ACEPOL campaign, a joint NASA-SRON initiative that validated common retrieval algorithms across different polarimeters, a foundational study with 82 citations. Rietjens’s work is notable for bridging instrument design and data science, ensuring that advanced polarimeters like SPEXone yield actionable, validated aerosol products. With a career spanning instrument development to operational retrieval, he has helped shape the next generation of Earth-observing missions, making him a key figure for students and researchers interested in the intersection of optics, atmospheric science, and climate monitoring.
