About

Jean Sciare is a leading atmospheric chemist whose research centers on aerosol characterization, air quality, and the radiative impacts of particulate pollution. As a key contributor to the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET), he co-authored the seminal 2009 paper establishing the Maritime Aerosol Network (MAN), which has garnered over 379 citations and remains a cornerstone for global aerosol monitoring over oceans. Sciare’s work on the ADRIMED campaign (2015) provided critical insights into ozone and aerosol variability across the Euro-Mediterranean region, integrating field measurements with advanced modeling (WRF and CHIMERE). His investigation of the 2014–2015 Holuhraun volcanic eruption in Iceland (2019) revealed the chemical fingerprint of volcanic sulfate aerosols, advancing understanding of SO₂ oxidation rates in tropospheric plumes and their implications for air quality and climate. More recently, he has driven innovations in aerosol vertical profiling by combining lidar, sunphotometry, and in-situ measurements within the ACTRIS-2 framework, enhancing our ability to monitor atmospheric composition. With over 400 citations across his most influential works, Sciare’s research bridges fundamental aerosol chemistry and applied environmental monitoring, making him a pivotal figure in understanding how natural and anthropogenic aerosols shape our climate and health.
