معرفی
Prof. Claudia Mohr is a Professor and Laboratory Head of the Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Villigen, Switzerland. Her research focuses on atmospheric processes involving aerosols, clouds, and trace gases, with a particular emphasis on regional and global climate impacts. She leads interdisciplinary campaigns such as FAIRARI, ARTofMELT, and SALTENA, investigating topics like aerosol formation mechanisms, cloud microphysics, and biogeochemical cycles in diverse environments including the Arctic, tropical Andes, and marine boundary layers. Her work integrates advanced measurement techniques such as FIGAERO-CIMS and mass spectrometry to unravel complex atmospheric chemistry.
Research interests include the physicochemical properties of aerosols, oxidation pathways of volatile organic compounds, and the role of microbial communities in atmospheric processes. She has conducted long-term observations in high-altitude stations like Chacaltaya (Bolivia) and the Zeppelin Observatory (Arctic), contributing to understanding climate feedback mechanisms and air quality dynamics. Her studies span from urban pollution dynamics in Delhi to pristine tropical environments in Amazonia, emphasizing the interplay between human activities and natural systems.
Key findings include insights into fog chemistry in the Po Valley, Arctic aerosol sources during sea ice melt, and new particle formation in contrasting environments. Her research underscores the importance of atmospheric chemistry in modulating climate and environmental health, with implications for policy and sustainable practices.
