abstract = {Paul Jozef Crutzen was a pioneer in the atmospheric
sciences, a kind-hearted and humorous person with empathy
for the private lives of his colleagues and students, and a
man who upheld the highest scientific standards for himself
and for others. He made fundamental scientific contributions
to a wide range of scientific topics in all parts of the
atmosphere, from the mesosphere to the stratosphere and from
the stratosphere to the troposphere. In particular, he was
the first to describe the NOx-driven ozone depletion cycle
in the stratosphere, he was among the first to develop the
idea of chemical formation of ozone in the troposphere, he
provided key concepts to explain the “ozone hole”, and
he made fundamental discoveries about the effects of biomass
burning on the troposphere. Understanding and addressing the
causes of anthropogenic air pollution and climate change
were the driving motivations for his scientific work. In his
work, he did not shy away from challenge and provocation.
His work on smoke from fires after a potential nuclear war
inspired new research on a concept now known as “nuclear
winter”. He also initiated the reopening of the debate on
“geoengineering” – a concept now referred to as
“climate intervention”. He also brought the term
“Anthropocene” to the popular debate. Moreover, he had a
strong influence on atmospheric science through his
educational role; there is a very large number of
outstanding scientists who started their career with
scientific work with Paul. In 2000, Paul was among the
founders of the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics,
which was unique at the time in providing public discussion
of published preprints as well as what we now call “open
access” to published articles. Paul's work on human
impacts on atmosphere and climate has had a profound impact
on the environmental policies of many countries for decades.
In the future, his work will continue to be a guide for
generations of scientists and environmental policymakers to
come.},
