Overview

Andreas Stohl is affiliated with the University of Vienna in Austria and has contributed extensively to research in environmental science and earth and planetary sciences. Their work primarily focuses on atmospheric science and related subfields, including global and planetary change, health, toxicology and mutagenesis, pollution, and environmental engineering.

Their research covers a broad range of main topics, with a particular emphasis on atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, air quality and health impacts, atmospheric ozone and climate, microplastics and plastic pollution, meteorological phenomena and simulations, and climate variability and models.

Among their publications, several notable papers include:

  • Atmospheric transport is a major pathway of microplastics to remote regions, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Shape Matters: Long-Range Transport of Microplastic Fibers in the Atmosphere, 2023, Environmental Science & Technology
  • Changes in black carbon emissions over Europe due to COVID-19 lockdowns, 2021, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
  • A central arctic extreme aerosol event triggered by a warm air-mass intrusion, 2022, Nature Communications
  • Source Quantification of South Asian Black Carbon Aerosols with Isotopes and Modeling, 2020, Environmental Science & Technology

Stohl has collaborated numerous times with a core group of coauthors, including Nikolaos Evangeliou, Konstantinos Eleftheriadis, Stergios Vratolis, V. K. Stathopoulos, and C. Matsoukas. These repeated collaborations indicate active engagement with peers in atmospheric and environmental research.

The scientist's work often appears in recurrent publication venues, showcasing a significant number of contributions in the following:

  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
  • Geophysical Research Letters
  • Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres
  • Environmental Science & Technology

These outlets reflect a focus on atmospheric sciences and environmental chemistry, consistent with their main research fields and topics.
