Thorsten Mauritsen

Thorsten Mauritsen is a Professor at the Department of Meteorology (MISU) at Stockholm University. His research focuses on climate dynamics, global circulation, and climate sensitivity, with particular emphasis on cloud feedbacks and ocean-atmosphere interactions. He has contributed to major climate models like MPI-ESM and explores paleoclimate constraints on future climate projections.

Key research interests include Earth's energy imbalance, Arctic climate processes, and the role of aerosols and clouds in modulating climate sensitivity. Mauritsen has led projects such as the Tropical Precipitation Tipping-Points (TPTP) initiative, investigating Amazon rainforest resilience under climate variability.

His recent work emphasizes satellite-based observations and model validation to improve climate prediction accuracy. Collaborative efforts with global initiatives like CMIP6 and CERES underscore his commitment to advancing climate science.
