Research Area(s)

• Development of satellite based remote sensing measurement and inversion techniques that are able to probe the atmosphere globally, frequently and repetitively
• Canadian Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imaging System (OSIRIS) satellite to globally measure the vertical structure of the atmosphere
• Measurements and impacts of aerosols in the upper troposphere and stratosphere
• Development of radiative transfer modeling and inversion methods for these and other aerosols, including clouds, smoke and dust
• Understanding the radiative and chemical effects of these aerosolst in the study of long term atmospheric trends required for further understanding of the Earth's climate system
• Development of designs for future optical instrumentation for sub-orbital and space-based remote sensing missions
