Andreas Stohl is a full professor at the University of Vienna’s Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy, leading the Department of Meteorology and Geophysics. He also serves as Interim Head of the Vienna Atmospheric Research Network and Vicedekan of the faculty. His research focuses on atmospheric transport processes, microplastic dynamics, emission source inversion, and climate impacts. Stohl holds a PhD from the University of Vienna and has held senior roles at institutions like the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) and the University of Colorado. Education: 2000: Habilitation, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna 1996: PhD, University of Vienna 1992: Diploma in Meteorology, University of Vienna 1986-1992: Parallel studies in Astronomy and Meteorology, University of Vienna Research Interests: His work spans atmospheric chemistry, climate modeling, ice core analysis, and the long-range transport of pollutants. Recent studies include microplastic deposition in Siberia, historical ammonia emissions from ice cores, and black carbon’s role in Arctic climate. Key Article Trends: Recent publications emphasize microplastic transport mechanisms, historical pollution reconstructions, and advanced modeling techniques like FLEXPART v11. His work bridges atmospheric physics with environmental policy through emission source identification. Awards: ERC Advanced Grant (2015) ISI Highly Cited Researcher (2014–2018) NASA Group Achievement Award (2009) EUROTRAC-2 Young Scientist Award (2004) Advising & Grants: Stohl leads projects like Constraining Vienna’s Carbon Footprint (CVCF) and Investigating Methane for Climate Action (IM4CA). He advises international initiatives like AMAP’s Short-Lived Climate Forcers group and chairs ERC evaluation panels. Labs & Teams: Central to his work is the Interinstitutional Vienna Atmospheric Research Network, which integrates climate modeling, field observations, and policy analysis.
