Short résumé
Dr. Jørgen Brandt, Head of Section and Senior
Scientist.
Dr. Brandt is Head of Section of the "Research Section for Model Systems”,
at NERI’s Department of Atmospheric Environment. He
has a MSc and PhD in geophysics and meteorology from
the Niels Bohr Institute,
His
main research interests are atmospheric short- and long-range
chemistry/transport modelling, integrated high-resolution forecasting of
weather and air pollution from local to global scale, and development of
integrated model systems, where the full coupling of atmospheric models with
effect models provide the sound scientific basis for decision support and
information of the public.
His
basic scientific disciplines are within atmospheric physics, meteorology,
chemistry, mathematics, advanced numerical, validation and visualization
techniques for use in meteorological and air pollution models at all scales.
He
has developed the DREAM model, used for studying the transport and dispersion from
nuclear accidental releases and the THOR Integrated Air Pollution Forecast and Scenario
Management System, which includes a series of models capable of weather and air
pollution forecasting, management and assessment on European scales to urban
street scale. He participated in the
development of the hemispheric nested DEHM model for
studying transport, chemical transformations, deposition and fluxes of many
chemical compounds (including photochemistry, particles, POPs,
heavy metals and CO2) and the UBM model, which is a high-resolution
urban background model. He also participated in developing the EVA system
(External Valuation of Air pollution), capable of valuating the externalities
from point sources. This system is now extended to include all sources.
His present research
areas are: climate change impacts on air pollution, atmospheric sensibility to
future emission scenarios of e.g. hydrogen and methane, modelling particles
from global to local scale and mass closure, pollen forecasting, data
assimilation of satellite and surface data, natural emissions, high-resolution
modelling combining the Lagrangian and Eulerian
approaches, integrated monitoring, CO2 budget modelling, flood forecasting.
His overall research goal is to build an operational and integrated decision support system for assessment of future scenarios,
including emission and traffic scenarios, climate change, socio-economics, and impacts on human health
as well as marine and terrestrial eco-systems, etc. This is goal is pursued via
the THOR system.
He
has written more than 250 international publications on these and related
topics and participated in and presented scientific work at more than 100
international conferences. He has contributed to nearly 20 national research
programs, more than 25 international research programs, including 14 EU
research programs. He is editor at Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
and has edited two books and six special issues in different international
journals. He has been a convener of the European Geophysical Society Assembly's
since 1998 of the session “Air Pollution Modelling”. He is appointed by the
Danish EPA as the national focal point and
expert of Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution under
UNECE-LRTAP. He is a member of the ACCENT
T&TP (Transport and Transformation of Pollutants) steering committee. He has been supervisor on many BSc, MSc and PhD
projects. Presently, he is supervisor for three PhD students.
In
2000, he was awarded the “Highly Commended
Award, 2000”, by the Literati Club Awards for Excellence,
