About
Marc Mallet is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the radiative and climatic impacts of aerosols, particularly dust and biomass burning smoke. His most influential work, with over 130 citations, examines how dust aerosols over West Africa alter the surface and top-of-atmosphere radiative budget, heat fluxes, and even convective activity. He has also made pivotal contributions to understanding wildfire aerosols, notably demonstrating through 80+ cited work how Russian wildfires in 2010 directly forced surface air temperature changes and influenced atmospheric dynamics. Mallet is recognized for advancing regional climate modeling, including coupling the CHIMERE chemistry-transport model with the ALADIN climate model to simulate smoke aerosol transport, vertical distribution, and direct radiative effects over the southeast Atlantic. His research on aerosol mixing states during the 2003 European heat wave provided critical evidence for core-shell mixing of biomass burning and anthropogenic particles. With a career spanning major field campaigns like ORACLES, LASIC, and ChArMEx, Mallet’s work is essential for understanding how absorbing aerosols perturb regional climate systems, making him a key figure in aerosol-climate interaction science.
