Kerstin Schepanski, PhD
Freie Universität Berlin, Germany
Kerstin Schepanski is a Professor of Radiation and Remote Sensing of Atmospheres at the Institute of Meteorology, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany. Her research aims at understanding the role of the dust life cycle in the Earth system, including dust-feedbacks. Her research focus includes studies on dust source characteristics, meteorological controls on dust emission processes, and the atmospheric dust cycle representing the atmospheric residence of dust from source to sink. For her work she uses atmosphere-aerosol models and satellite remote-sensing techniques combined with ground-based and airborne measurements. Dr Schepanski is an Editorial Board Member for Communications Earth & Environment.
