About
Maximilian Dollner is an atmospheric scientist whose research centers on the microphysical, chemical, and optical properties of ambient aerosols, with a particular focus on the remote and pristine atmosphere. His most impactful contribution stems from his central role in the Atmospheric Tomography Mission (ATom), a landmark NASA campaign that conducted global-scale in situ measurements from 2016 to 2018. Flying aboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft from approximately 84°N to 86°S latitude over the Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, and Southern Oceans, Dollner and his team produced the most comprehensive dataset of its kind for the remote atmosphere. His flagship 2021 paper, which has garnered 65 citations, provides a foundational characterization of aerosol properties across these vast, under-sampled regions, offering critical insights into natural background conditions and long-range transport. This work is essential for constraining climate models and understanding aerosol-cloud interactions far from pollution sources. By mapping the baseline state of the remote atmosphere, Dollner has made a vital contribution to global aerosol science, helping to distinguish natural variability from anthropogenic influence.
