Climate Change Caused by Air Pollutants 竹村俊彦 九州大学応用力学研究所 主幹教授
2001年東京大学大学院理学系研究科博士課程修了。博士（理学）。九州大学応用力学研究所助手・准教授を経て、2014年から同研究所教授。専門は大気中の微粒子（エアロゾル）により引き起こされる気候変動・大気汚染を計算する気候モデルの開発。国連気候変動に関する政府間パネル（IPCC）第5次評価報告書主執筆者。自ら開発したシステムSPRINTARSによりPM2.5・黄砂予測を運用。世界で影響力のある科学者を選出するHighly Cited Researcher（高被引用論文著者）に7年連続選出。2018年度日本学士院学術奨励賞など受賞多数。気象予報士。Doctor of Science in 2001 from the Graduate School of Science at the University of Tokyo. After working as a research associate and associate professor at the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, he has been a professor at the same institute since 2014. He specializes in the development of climate models to calculate climate change and air pollution caused by suspended particle matters (aerosols) in the atmosphere. He was one of the lead authors of the Fifth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He operates a system, SPRINTARS, he developed to predict PM2.5 and dust aerosols. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
