Hello,
I’m Emma Järvinen, a researcher and professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Wuppertal. My work focuses on studying the tiny particles in the atmosphere and developing advanced tools to measure their properties, particularly using research aircraft. Right now, I’m working on improving how cirrus clouds are represented in climate models and developing better ways to detect harmful particles from combustion using optical techniques.
My research topics
Ice clouds are constantly found in Earth's atmosphere. But what do we know of the atmospheric ice particles? In situ measurements offer valuable information on the ice particle microphysics and are important for validating remote sensing observations.
When it comes to ice crystals, many of us think of idealised hexagonal shapes. In reality ice crystals have all sorts of microscale structures that can have significant consequences for our climate.
Combustion processes release harmful soot particles, and advanced technologies are crucial for accurately monitoring their mass concentration to protect both health and the environment.
