About
Justus Notholt is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research centers on Arctic climate processes, with a particular focus on aerosol–cloud interactions and the mechanisms driving Arctic amplification. As a principal investigator in the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre “TRR 172: (AC)³,” Notholt has advanced our understanding of how surface and atmospheric feedbacks accelerate warming in the High Arctic. His work combines ground-based remote sensing—including high-resolution infrared emission and lidar observations—with satellite data to characterize aerosol properties and trace gas distributions in this sensitive region. One of his most cited recent papers (2023) demonstrates how integrated remote sensing techniques can quantify aerosol impacts on Arctic radiative forcing, a critical step toward reducing uncertainties in climate models. With over 5,000 total citations across his career, Notholt’s contributions have been instrumental in linking observational data to the feedback loops that amplify polar warming. His leadership in international field campaigns and long-term monitoring networks has made him a key figure in polar climate science, providing essential insights for researchers and policymakers addressing the fastest-warming region on Earth.
