Kleareti Tourpali is a professor at the Department of Physics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Graduate of the Department of Physics of the University of Ioannina (1985), and PhD holder from the Department of Physics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1994) on Atmospheric Physics.

She worked as a researcher at the Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, at the School of Meteorology of FU-Berlin (1994) and at NCAR, USA (1995). She has also worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (IMAOU), Rijks Universiteit Utrecht, and the Royal Meteorological Institute (KNMI) in the Netherlands (1998-2003).

Since 2004 she has been working again at the Department of Physics, Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, initially as a Lecturer, and as a full Professor since 2020.

During her tenure, in addition to teaching courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level, she has supervised undergraduate diploma theses at the Department of Physics, postgraduate theses within the framework of the MSc in Environmental Physics, as well as doctoral dissertations, with two in progress.

Her research interests are the anthropogenic and natural variability (with emphasis on solar effects) of ozone and the related effects on atmospheric circulation, climate and ultraviolet radiation, using numerical models, mainly global Chemistry-Climate Models, and Earth-System Models (ESM), as well as satellite data. She has published 62 papers in peer-reviewed journals (h index 27). He has contributed as author and co-author to numerous Assessment Reports of SPARC, WMO/UNEP and EEAP/UNEP.
