About
Juan Cuesta is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the characterization and distribution of aerosols—tiny particles that critically impact air quality, human health, and global climate. His work is particularly known for advancing our understanding of haze pollution and dust transport. In a highly cited 2014 study (21 citations), Cuesta analyzed ground-based observations during a major haze outbreak over Beijing, revealing how aerosol column size distribution and water uptake evolve during extreme pollution events. He further explored aerosol complexity in a 2016 paper on multi-peak accumulation and coarse modes in Beijing. Cuesta has also made significant contributions to satellite remote sensing, developing novel methods to retrieve the three-dimensional distribution of multiple aerosol types at a daily scale using TROPOMI spaceborne observations (2024, 5 citations). His expertise extends to dust aerosols, comparing multi-sensor products and the MONARCH reanalysis over North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe (2023, 7 citations), and characterizing desert dust properties across six major deserts using AERONET and CALIPSO data (2025). With a portfolio of influential studies, Cuesta’s work is essential for improving aerosol models, climate assessments, and pollution monitoring.
