About
Jos van Geffen is a leading researcher in atmospheric physics, specializing in satellite-based ultraviolet (UV) radiation monitoring and its biological impacts. His work centers on the validation and application of UV products from the Tropospheric Emission Monitoring Internet Service (TEMIS), bridging the gap between satellite observations and ground-based measurements. Van Geffen’s major contributions include the rigorous cross-validation of photobiological UV effective dose products—specifically the CIE erythemal UV index, vitamin D synthesis, and DNA damage—using high-temporal-resolution data from NILU-UV ground-based instruments. His most-cited study (2017, 49 citations) demonstrates the reliability of satellite-derived UV models for public health and environmental research. This work is critical for assessing human exposure risks and ecological effects of UV radiation. Van Geffen’s research has been instrumental in improving the accuracy of global UV monitoring, with his validation efforts cited widely in climate and health studies. His achievements underscore a commitment to advancing our understanding of solar UV radiation’s impact on life, making his findings essential for policymakers, dermatologists, and atmospheric scientists alike.
