About

Luis Garcia-Carreras is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the complex interactions between mineral dust, boundary layer processes, and the climate of the Sahara. His major contributions stem from the Fennec climate programme, where he led groundbreaking airborne observations over the remote Sahara in 2011 and 2012. This work, detailed in his highly cited 2015 paper (85 citations), provided unprecedented insights into how dust aerosols influence the Saharan boundary layer, including its structure, energy balance, and dynamics. By integrating these observations with modelling, Garcia-Carreras has advanced our understanding of the Saharan climate system, a critical region for global dust transport and climate feedbacks. His research has been instrumental in revealing the role of dust in modulating surface temperatures and atmospheric circulation, with implications for weather prediction and climate projections. Garcia-Carreras’s work is widely recognized for its methodological rigor and impact, making him a key figure in the study of arid-zone meteorology and aerosol-climate interactions.
