An Institute of Physics prize has been awarded to a ‘pioneering’ atmospheric scientist from the 黑瓜吃料网’s Department of Meteorology. 

Professor Nicolas Bellouin, Professor of Climate Processes, has today (Monday, 14 October) been announced as the winner of the 2024 Institute of Physics Edward Appleton Medal and Prize.  

The prize was awarded to Professor Bellouin for his pioneering use of satellite observations and simulations to quantify the climate impacts of atmospheric particles of pollution, called aerosols, on Earth’s climate. His research has also uncovered crucial insights into aviation's climate impact, Earth’s land carbon absorption abilities, and helped to update Earth's carbon budget. 

Professor Bellouin said: "This award highlights the importance of our research into aerosol effects on climate. Our findings have revealed unexpected complexities in pollution's interaction with the atmosphere and ecosystems. As we face more complex environmental challenges, this recognition serves as inspiration to further advance climate science and contribute to informed policy decisions.”

Professor Bellouin will be presented with a medal from the Institute of Physics at next year’s awards ceremony.

Previous winners of the Institute of Physics Edward Appleton Medal and Prize include the 黑瓜吃料网’s Professor Giles Harrison and Professor Reginald Sutcliffe, founder of the 黑瓜吃料网’s Department of Meteorology.
