NOSA 2025 are proud to present a lineup of internationally leading scientists as this years keynote speakers.
Paul Zieger is a renowned researcher in the field of physical and chemical properties of aerosols and clouds. He employs a wide array of measurement techniques to study aerosol optical properties, hygroscopicity, and aerosol-cloud interactions. Moreover, his research also focuses on ambient aerosols and clouds in the Arctic.
Colette Heald is an acclaimed researcher whose work focuses on the composition and chemistry of the global atmosphere. She combines in situ and satellite observations with global modeling. This approach allows her to study the complex interactions between air pollution, climate change, and ecosystem health.
Mikael Ehn is perhaps best known for discovering highly oxidized molecules in 2014. Since then, he has continued to study the formation of secondary organic aerosols through low volatile vapors. He primarily uses online mass spectrometric techniques both in atmospheric simulation chamber studies and ambient measurements for his research.
Annele Virtanen is a specialist in atmospheric aerosols. Her research focuses on understanding how aerosols form, transform, and interact with clouds. She integrates laboratory and field measurements with theoretical models. This comprehensive approach enables her to study both natural and anthropogenic changes in aerosol dynamics.
NOSA 2025 is proud to present Assistant Professor Sigurd Christiansen, University of Faroe Islands, and Sara Blichner, Stockholm University, as our two tutorial speakers. The tutorials focuses on introducing research fields to younger researchers.
Sigurd Christiansen is an experimental researcher trying to bridge the fields of ocean and atmospheric sciences. His interdisciplinary work focuses on marine-derived aerosols, such as sea spray and dimethyl sulphide, and their roles in cloud formation (CCN) and ice-nucleating ability, utilizing various simulation chambers. Sigurd's tutorial will emphasize experimental techniques for characterizing aerosols and assessing their cloud-forming potential.
Sara Blichner is a large-scale modeler focusing on improving the process representation of aerosols in climate models. She has expertise in model development and in studying the interactions between biogenic volatile organic compounds, aerosols, and clouds. Currently, her work focuses on developing process evaluation methods to increase model accuracy and enable more precise assessments of climate impacts. Her tutorial will cover why and how aerosols are represented in climate models, and how we can improve on it using new tools and evaluation techniques.
The full program will be available here once it is finalized. A preliminary program can be seen below.
