Short résumé
Dr. Jørgen Brandt,
Head of Section and Senior Scientist. Dr. Brandt is Head of Section of
the "Research Section for Integrated Model Systems”, at NERI’s Department
of Atmospheric Environment. He has a MSc and PhD in
geophysics and meteorology from the Niels Bohr Institute,
Main research interests: 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 emissions and atmospheric
models with effect models and economic valuation provide the sound scientific
basis for decision support and information of the public.
Basic scientific disciplines: Atmospheric physics, meteorology,
chemistry, mathematics, advanced numerical, validation and visualization
techniques for use in meteorological and air pollution models at all scales.
Major developments: 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 (Economic Valuation of Air pollution), capable of
valuating the external costs from emission sources.
Present research areas: 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 present and future scenarios,
including all harmful chemical species, emission and traffic scenarios, climate
change, socio-economics, and impacts on human health as well as the natural
environment and climate system. This is goal is pursued via the THOR system.
Publications and research programs: 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.
Miscellaneous: 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 four PhD students. He is
appointed by the Danish Agency for Innovation and Science as a National Expert
in the EU volcano expert panel. He has been interviewed to the press nearly 100
times (TV, radio, newspapers, including several front page stories).
Awards: In 2000, he was awarded the “Highly Commended Award, 2000”, by the Literati
Club Awards for Excellence,
