Professor of Aerosols & Climate @UCLA.

The Aerosol-Climate Interactions group @UCLA is looking for a #Postdoc or #Researcher to work on an exciting project to determine whether seeding wintertime polar mixed-phase clouds could be a viable climate intervention technique, as part of a great team. https://t.co/ulAcN3wV6Q

Not just dust in the wind. A new #NSFfunded study shows global microscopic airborne particles from desert dust storms have a slight overall cooling effect that has hidden the full amount of warming caused by greenhouse gases. https://t.co/FEn0FQP6W8

@DrYemiAdebiyi Ugh, that really really sucks.... :( I'm sorry, Yemi. The fact that you got so close is hopeful for the next submission though.

"Staub ist wirklich kompliziert", sagt Atmosphärenphysiker Jasper Kok (@DustyClimate) im Interview. Staub in der Atmosphäre habe uns bislang vor den schwerwiegenderen Auswirkungen der Erderwärmung geschützt, doch die Konzentration sinkt. #Klimawandel

@peakaustria @NatRevEarthEnv @dannymleung @UCLA @Cornell @NCAR_Science @Scripps_Ocean Thanks for pointing this out! Do you have a paper you can recommend for this? Thanks!

And that's why CO2 emissions drop like a stone if you follow a vegetarian or a vegan diet.

We need a massive shift towards more plant-based diets, especially in rich meat-eating countries.

Exciting start to the week!! My 1st first-author paper was just published in ACP!! 💖

We used several aircraft campaigns to investigate cirrus cloud formation/evolution and then compared our findings to collocated CAM6 simulations. Read further here: https://t.co/fcuaSQaOJy

Thanks @maanvissingh& @guardian for this great write up of @DustyClimate's new excellent dust review @NatRevEarthEnv and for including my views!

Also, I want to be where this photo was taken.

Atmospheric dust may have hidden true extent of global heating https://t.co/MzwpGkZivr

[Jasper Kok @DustyClimate]

We show that dust probably net cools the climate, that dust has increased by ~50% since the 1850s. This dust increase and the resulting cooling is not included in climate models.

Our latest #research on #dust effects on #climate and #climatechange was just published in @NatRevEarthEnv and is free to read here: https://t.co/k8ZSTChBeK. @trudesto1, @DrYemiAdebiyi, @AmatoEvan_, @dannymleung, @UCLA

[Jasper Kok @DustyClimate]

We have an opening for an assistant professor in Atmospheric Sciences at UCLA. Feel free to pass on to anyone who might be interested! https://t.co/aZJT8r7NIE

.@RepTedLieu @SenAlexPadilla @SenFeinstein, please vote YES to pass the bipartisan innovation package. This package helps solidify American investments in research, clean energy & climate change solutions, to support early career researchers, & create STEM opportunities for all.

[Jasper Kok @DustyClimate]

My Aerosol-Climate Interactions research group @UCLA has an opening for a postdoctoral scholar or research scientist for a project to quantify the radiative forcing of desert dust. More details can be found here: https://t.co/76e924DplV.

.@RepTedLieu @SenAlexPadilla @SenFeinstein please urge your colleagues to swiftly pass a bipartisan Innovation Package. This bill helps solidify American investments in research, clean energy & climate change solutions, & create STEM opportunities for all.

@Nissee_Dee @AviancaNAM I totally agree Denisse! I still haven't heard *anything*! Not even a courtesy call saying they lost my luggage. Yes, don't fly Avianca!

[Jasper Kok @DustyClimate]

@AviancaEscucha Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. It's been two weeks and I have not heard anything about my lost bag. That's really not okay so I'll be filing a complaint with DOT unless I hear something by this weekend.
