About
Eduardo Landulfo is a pioneering atmospheric physicist whose research centers on aerosol remote sensing, lidar technology, and the complex interplay between land use and air quality. A leading figure in South American atmospheric science, Landulfo established Brazil’s first operational backscattering lidar system in São Paulo, enabling groundbreaking vertical profiling of urban aerosols. His work has been instrumental in characterizing aerosol optical properties across diverse Brazilian ecosystems, from the Amazon Rainforest to the Northeast region. Notably, his synergetic analysis of the 2015 Calbuco volcanic eruption (42 citations) demonstrated how volcanic plumes impact aviation and air quality across continents. His recent study on brown carbon and black carbon in Amazonia (31 citations) reveals critical links between deforestation and aerosol radiative forcing, a key uncertainty in climate models. Landulfo’s 12-year analysis of Northeast Brazil’s aerosol properties (20 citations) provided the first comprehensive remote sensing dataset for this understudied region. With over 100 publications and extensive validation of satellite products like MODIS and CALIPSO, his work bridges ground-based lidar observations and satellite climatology, advancing our understanding of aerosol vertical distribution and its climatic implications.
