About

Duncan Watson-Parris is a leading climate scientist whose research focuses on understanding and quantifying the role of aerosols in the Earth’s climate system, with a particular emphasis on aerosol–cloud interactions and radiative forcing. His work is central to reducing the largest uncertainties in global climate models. A key contribution is his involvement in the AeroCom Phase III initiative, where he led a comprehensive assessment of aerosol absorption in global models—a study that has garnered significant attention for its critical evaluation of how black carbon and other absorbing aerosols influence atmospheric heating and cloud processes. With over 4,000 citations to his name, Watson-Parris is widely recognized for advancing the physical understanding of aerosol radiative effects and for developing novel machine learning techniques to improve climate model parameterizations. He has also been instrumental in building open-source tools for climate data analysis, fostering reproducibility and collaboration across the field. His work not only sharpens our grasp of historical climate change but also informs future projections of warming and precipitation patterns.
