About
Jason Blake Cohen is a leading researcher in aerosol science and atmospheric remote sensing, with a focus on the optical properties, transport, and climatic impacts of absorbing aerosols. His major contributions include developing innovative methods to quantify black carbon and sulphate aerosol properties using decadal AERONET measurements and a MIE model, as detailed in his highly cited 2021 paper (27 citations). He has also advanced satellite-based retrieval techniques, employing gradient boosted regression trees to estimate absorbing aerosol optical depth from OMI/TROPOMI data, achieving high-resolution accuracy across Asia. Cohen’s work on aloft transport of haze aerosols in eastern China, published in 2022 (13 citations), sheds light on the vertical profiles and sources of pollution during winter haze episodes, critical for understanding regional air quality and radiative forcing. Beyond atmospheric science, his early career includes designing the Norris Spectrograph for the Hale Telescope (1993, 15 citations), a multi-object fiber instrument optimized for faint galaxy spectroscopy. With over 63 citations across his most-cited works, Cohen’s interdisciplinary expertise bridges astrophysics and environmental science, offering vital insights into aerosol-climate interactions and pollution monitoring.
