About
Gloria Titos is an atmospheric scientist whose research illuminates the complex behavior of aerosols and their profound influence on climate. Her work centers on the microphysical and optical properties of aerosols, with a particular focus on mineral dust and the effects of hygroscopic growth. Dr. Titos is a pioneer in integrating multi-platform observations, combining ground-based remote sensing with airborne in-situ measurements to create a complete, vertically-resolved picture of the aerosol column. Her most cited work (63 citations) provides a critical evaluation of retrieval techniques during a Saharan dust event, validating satellite and lidar data against direct aircraft measurements. She has also advanced our understanding of how aerosols change with humidity, quantifying the resulting impacts on radiative forcing and atmospheric heating rates. Through her contributions to major field campaigns like ChArMEx and DISCOVER-AQ, Dr. Titos has provided essential observational constraints that improve climate models, making her a leading voice in the effort to reduce one of the largest uncertainties in climate science.
