About
Yohai Kaspi is a leading figure in planetary science, renowned for his groundbreaking work on the atmospheric dynamics and interior structures of gas and ice giants. His research spans the physics of planetary atmospheres, from Jupiter’s turbulent jet streams to the deep weather layers of Saturn and the enigmatic ice giants Uranus and Neptune. Kaspi’s major contributions include developing theoretical models that link observed cloud-level winds to the planets’ deep interiors, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of how these worlds function. He has also been instrumental in advancing the case for dedicated ice giant exploration, as evidenced by his co-authorship of the influential "Ice giant system exploration within ESA’s Voyage 2050" paper, which has already garnered 11 citations and helped set the scientific agenda for future missions. With a citation count exceeding 5,000, Kaspi’s work is widely recognized for its clarity and impact, earning him accolades such as the Harold C. Urey Prize. For any student or researcher curious about the hidden dynamics of our Solar System’s largest planets, Kaspi’s research offers a compelling gateway into the mysteries of planetary atmospheres and interiors.
