About
Jessie M. Creamean is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research centers on the complex interactions between aerosols, clouds, and climate, with a particular focus on the rapidly changing Arctic. Her major contributions lie in understanding how aerosols—tiny particles in the atmosphere—serve as ice-nucleating particles (INPs) that influence cloud formation and precipitation. Creamean’s work is critical for improving climate models, especially in polar regions where cloud feedbacks remain a significant source of uncertainty. She was a key contributor to the landmark MOSAiC expedition, the largest Arctic field campaign ever conducted, where she led efforts to characterize aerosol properties from the boundary layer to the tropopause. Her highly cited 2023 paper on the annual cycle of aerosol properties during MOSAiC (24 citations) provides unprecedented vertical resolution data on light-extinction, cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and INP levels. This work has become a foundational reference for understanding Arctic aerosol-cloud interactions. Creamean’s research is not only notable for its scientific rigor but also for its direct relevance to predicting future climate scenarios in one of the most vulnerable regions on Earth.
