About
Marion Maturilli is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on Arctic climate processes, with particular emphasis on aerosol-cloud interactions and boundary layer dynamics. Her most significant contribution comes from her pivotal role in the MOSAiC expedition—the largest Arctic field campaign ever conducted—where she led groundbreaking aerosol measurements from the boundary layer to the tropopause. Her highly cited 2023 study (24 citations) provided the first comprehensive annual cycle of aerosol properties over the central Arctic, documenting light-extinction, cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and ice-nucleating particle (INP) levels with unprecedented vertical resolution up to 30 km. This work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how aerosols influence Arctic cloud formation and radiative forcing in a rapidly changing climate. Maturilli’s research has been instrumental in establishing baseline aerosol climatologies for the central Arctic, serving as a critical reference for climate models and future field campaigns. Her contributions to the MOSAiC project—the most ambitious Arctic research endeavor to date—have positioned her as a key figure in polar atmospheric science, with her findings directly informing predictions of Arctic amplification and its global climate implications.
