Jagruti Pathak

Jagruti Pathak is a Researcher in the Division of Natural Science at York University’s Faculty of Science, specializing in atmospheric and planetary sciences. She is affiliated with the Department of Earth and Space Science, where she conducts research on global chemical transport modeling and planetary boundary layer phenomena.

Her research focuses on tropospheric oxidants, including ozone production and transport, using 3D global models that integrate modules for chemistry, emission, transport, and deposition. Her PhD work examined the impacts of biomass burning and anthropogenic emissions on air quality. She extended her expertise to planetary science during her postdoctoral research, simulating water ice clouds in the Martian boundary layer for NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander mission, leveraging data from a Canadian-designed LIDAR instrument.

Her work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Climate Action and Quality Education. She has taught interdisciplinary science courses such as LE/ESSE 1410: Natural, Technological and Human Induced Disasters and NATS 1580: Sun, Space Weather and Life on Earth, aiming to engage non-science majors in scientific inquiry.

Jagruti is actively contributing to research in atmospheric and planetary environments, with applications to Earth’s air quality and Mars exploration. She has not published any listed articles in the provided text, and no specific grants or advising roles are mentioned. Her work bridges Earth observation and planetary science, supporting both academic education and space mission science.
