Overview

Eric Scheuer was affiliated with the University of New Hampshire in the United States. Their research primarily focused on Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science, with notable contributions to the subfields of Atmospheric Science, Global and Planetary Change, and Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis. The main topics of Scheuer's work included atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, atmospheric ozone and climate, atmospheric aerosols and clouds, air quality and health impacts, atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, and fire effects on ecosystems.

Throughout their career, Scheuer coauthored several papers with frequent collaborators such as Jack E. Dibb, Joseph M. Katich, Pedro Campuzano-Jost, J. L. Jiménez, and Joshua P. Schwarz. Their research was published in a range of scientific venues where they had multiple contributions, particularly in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics and Geophysical Research Letters.

Significant recent publications by Scheuer included:

  • Global Measurements of Brown Carbon and Estimated Direct Radiative Effects, 2020, Geophysical Research Letters
  • Chemical transport models often underestimate inorganic aerosol acidity in remote regions of the atmosphere, 2021, Communications Earth & Environment
  • ATom: Merged Atmospheric Chemistry, Trace Gases, and Aerosols, Version 2, 2021, University of New Hampshire Scholars Repository (University of New Hampshire at Manchester)
  • Characteristics and evolution of brown carbon in western United States wildfires, 2022, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
  • Ambient aerosol properties in the remote atmosphere from global-scale in situ measurements, 2021, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics

Scheuer's work involved extensive investigation into atmospheric aerosols and their chemical and physical properties, as well as their influence on climate and air quality. The studies covered both global-scale measurements and regional phenomena, including wildfire effects on aerosol composition. They addressed the interactions between aerosols, trace gases, and environmental dynamics, contributing data and analysis that informed atmospheric chemistry models.

The scientist's publication record spanned key scientific journals focusing on geophysical and atmospheric sciences, including:

  • Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
  • Geophysical Research Letters
  • Communications Earth & Environment
  • Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres
  • Atmospheric Environment
