Prof. Dr. Andreas Petzold

I am an atmospheric scientist with longstanding experience in the measurement of climate-relevant gaseous species and aerosol particles across the troposphere in various environments. Today, I am heading the Research Group for Global Observation at the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems – Troposphere (ICE-3) of Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany, and I am lecturing as Professor for Atmospheric Physics at the University of Wuppertal. Furthermore, I serve as a member of the Scientific Advisory Group Aerosols of the Global Atmosphere Watch programme of WMO.

One of my primary tasks is the coordination of the European Research Infrastructure IAGOS (www.iagos.org), jointly with colleagues from France and the U.K. As a convinced supporter of research infrastructures and open science, I am contributing to the community of the European Environmental Research Infrastructures ENVRI, coordinated the EU Project ENVRI-FAIR (www.envri-fair.eu) which connects the cluster of ENVRIs to the European Open Science Cloud, and representing today the ENVRI Community in the Science Clusters project OSCARS (https://oscars-project.eu/ ).
