About
Michael J. Kleeman is a leading environmental engineer whose research focuses on the sources, transport, and health impacts of atmospheric particulate matter. His work has been instrumental in understanding the chemical and optical properties of carbonaceous aerosols, particularly in urban and agricultural regions. Kleeman’s major contributions include developing source-oriented air quality models that link emissions to ambient concentrations and health outcomes, and advancing the characterization of black and brown carbon—key components of fine particulate matter that affect climate and human health. His 2018 study comparing black and brown carbon absorption from AERONET and surface measurements at wintertime Fresno (47 citations) exemplifies his rigorous approach to validating remote sensing data with ground-based observations, improving our ability to monitor and mitigate air pollution. With over 15,000 citations to his name, Kleeman’s work has shaped regulatory policies and public health guidelines. He is also recognized for his leadership in interdisciplinary collaborations and for mentoring a new generation of scientists tackling complex environmental challenges.
