Biography
«My research focuses on the physical mechanisms linking solar radiation, atmospheric composition, and ecosystem responses. I work on aerosol–cloud–radiation interactions and atmosphere–biosphere feedbacks, combining long-term observations, climate and environmental data analysis, and modelling approaches.
I am interested in collaborative research at the interface of atmospheric physics, climate science, and ecosystem modelling. For scientific inquiries or potential collaborations, please contact me by email»

Dr. Ismael López Lozano is an atmospheric scientist working at the interface between atmospheric physics and ecosystem science. He holds a PhD in Physics and Space Sciences from the University of Granada, where his research focused on aerosol–cloud–solar radiation interactions.
His work addresses how radiative processes propagate into climate–ecosystem feedbacks, with particular emphasis on spectral and diffuse solar radiation, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and carbon-related responses in boreal and aquatic systems. He combines observations, modelling, and data-driven approaches to link atmospheric variability with ecosystem functioning.
Methodologically, his research integrates climate and environmental data analysis, process-based ecosystem and forest modelling (e.g. PREBAS), remote sensing, and statistical and numerical approaches. He works primarily with Python, R, and MATLAB, and has experience with high-performance computing environments (CSC Puhti and Allas).
His background includes interdisciplinary training across atmospheric science, limnology, and environmental physics, as well as experience in experimental design and field-based environmental measurements. He has also contributed to teaching and mentoring at the university level in physics, ecology, and atmospheric sciences.
