About
K. S. Carslaw is a leading figure in atmospheric aerosol science, with a particular focus on how natural and anthropogenic aerosols influence climate. His research integrates detailed process-level understanding with global Earth system models, advancing our ability to predict aerosol–cloud–climate interactions. A key contribution is his leadership in evaluating natural aerosols within the CRESCENDO Earth system models, including a landmark 2021 study on mineral dust that quantified the global dust cycle across five major ESMs. This work, which has garnered 45 citations, is critical for reducing uncertainty in climate projections, as dust affects radiation, clouds, and biogeochemical cycles. Carslaw’s broader impact is reflected in his highly cited research on aerosol–cloud interactions and the role of new particle formation, which has shaped the representation of aerosols in climate models used worldwide. He is also known for developing the concept of “aerosol forcing uncertainty” and for pioneering work on the global distribution of cloud condensation nuclei. His contributions have been recognized through leadership roles in major international model intercomparison projects, making him an essential voice in understanding how particles in the atmosphere drive climate change.
