abstract = {Paul J. Crutzen was both a warm-hearted person and a
brilliant scientist. His researchinterests were broad,
encompassing topics of relevance in the mesosphere, the
stratosphereand the troposphere. He made fundamental
scientific contributions to a wide range of topicsin the
science of all these atmospheric regions. For example, he
first described the NO x -driven ozone loss cycle in the
stratosphere, he contributed key ideas on how to explain
the‘ozone hole’ and he made fundamental discoveries on
the impact of biomass-burning on theatmosphere.
Understanding and combating the origins of air pollution and
climate changewere driving motivations for his life’s
work. Further, he pioneered the concept that is knownas
‘nuclear winter’, he initiated the resumption of
discussion on geoengineering, and coinedthe term
‘Anthropocene’. In 1995, together with Mario J. Molina
and F. Sherwood Rowland(ForMemRS 2004), Paul was awarded the
Nobel Prize in chemistry for ground-breakingwork ‘in
atmospheric chemistry, particularly concerning the formation
and decompositionof ozone’. With all this focus on
science, he did not forget the importance of private
life,regarding both his family and his colleagues and
students. Finally, Paul’s work had a profoundinfluence not
only on the scientific world, but also on different aspects
of environmentalpolitics throughout many countries. His
works on the impact of human activities on theatmosphere and
climate have been influential in the past and are
influential today. They providea beacon of knowledge for the
next generations of scientists and environmental
policymakers.},
