About
Evangelos Gerasopoulos is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol physics, optical properties, and long-range dust transport across the Eastern Mediterranean region. With a career spanning over two decades, he has made substantial contributions to our understanding of how mineral dust, particularly from Saharan sources, travels and transforms as it crosses the Mediterranean Basin. His most influential work, cited nearly 200 times, combined satellite data from TOMS, ground-based AERONET networks, and surface measurements to comprehensively characterize dust transport dynamics over the Eastern Mediterranean — a methodological approach that set standards for subsequent regional aerosol studies. His early investigations of aerosol optical properties over Crete (2006, 105 citations) established foundational climatological baselines that researchers continue to reference today. Gerasopoulos has demonstrated particular skill in integrating multiple observational platforms — from precision filter radiometers and Raman lidar to MAX-DOAS instruments — to retrieve and validate aerosol properties at different atmospheric layers. His decade-long Athens aerosol climatology study (2020) represents one of the most comprehensive long-term aerosol records for urban Southern Europe. Through international collaborations including EARLINET, SAMUM, and ACTRIS-2, he has helped position Greece as a critical observational hub for Mediterranean atmospheric research.
