Working Group "Mineral Dust"

Leader: TT-Prof. Dr. Martina Klose

Welcome to the web presence of the research group "Mineral Dust". The group was established as Helmholtz Young Investigator Group “A big unknown in the climate impact of atmospheric aerosol: Mineral soil dust” (11/2020 - 10/2026) and is now part of the Tenure-track professorship "Aerosols in the Earth system". We investigate primary aerosol properties and processes, especially related with mineral dust, with the goal to better quantify their cycles and its impacts. Our research methods include theory, numerical modeling and model development, as well as field and laboratory measurements.
