Climate Change and Global Warming

Biography

J. Sciare is the director of the Energy Environment and Water Research Center (EEWRC) of the Cyprus Institute (CyI). His main expertise covers the experimental characterization of atmospheric pollutants; addressing issues related their impacts on air quality, health and climate. He is currently leading the development of several major research infrastructure in Cyprus, contributing to the long-term observation of key climate forcers in the Eastern Mediterranean Middle East (EMME) region. These facilities represent a major constrain to the Air Quality and Climate models used at CyI to evaluate the various impacts of human-made air pollution. J. Sciare is (co-)author of more than 100 international refereed publications (H-index 35) and more than 200 presentations at international conferences devoted to atmospheric chemistry and physics.

Research Interest

My main expertise covers the experimental characterization of atmospheric pollutants(sources, geographic origin, atmospheric processes); addressing issues related their impacts on air quality, health and climate. I am currently leading the development of several major research infrastructure in Cyprus, contributing to the long-term observation of key climate forcers in the Eastern Mediterranean Middle East (EMME) region. These facilities represent a major constrain to the Air Quality and Climate regional models used at the Cyprus Institute to evaluate the various impacts of human-made air pollution. They also aim at promoting (through transnational access and training) the development of the first atmospheric network in the Middle East complying with international standards.
