About
Dr. Mihalis Vrekoussis is an atmospheric chemist whose research focuses on aerosol transport, air quality, and remote sensing, with particular emphasis on the Mediterranean region. His major contributions include advancing our understanding of mineral dust transport and developing innovative methods for retrieving aerosol profiles from ground-based measurements. His highly cited 2007 study (191 citations) integrated satellite data from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer, ground-based remote sensing from AERONET, and surface PM10 measurements from Crete to characterize dust transport over the eastern Mediterranean, providing critical insights into the evolution of mineral dust plumes. More recently, he pioneered the retrieval of tropospheric-aerosol extinction profiles using multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) measurements in Athens, Greece—a notable methodological achievement that enhances our ability to monitor aerosol vertical distribution without relying on lidar. Dr. Vrekoussis’s work bridges satellite observations, surface monitoring, and advanced spectroscopic techniques, making significant impacts on atmospheric chemistry and air quality research.
