Jean-Christophe Raut, Ph.D.

Jean-Christophe Raut (Ph.D. in 2008) is an associate professor at Sorbonne University, Paris, and atmospheric physicist at LATMOS. He has experience developing and using mesoscale modelling (Polar WRF, WRF-Chem, FLEXPART-WRF, WRF-CHIMERE) to study key processes related to the transport, processing, ageing and deposition of aerosols in the Arctic region, their interactions with clouds and radiative impacts. He participated actively in a number of projects focusing on the Arctic region and has been an author of the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) reports for short-lived climate forcers the Arctic. He is currently co-leading the ANR MPC2 project on Arctic mixed-phase clouds, is French representative at IASC (International Arctic Science Committee) within the Atmospheric Working Group, is member of scientific consortium of the TARA Polar Station as co-lead of the scoping group on long-term observations, and member of the steering committee of QuIESCENT (Quantifying the Indirect Effect: from Sources to Climate Effects of Natural and Transported aerosol in the Arctic), jointly developed between PACES and CATCH.
