معرفی
Aldona Wiacek is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Science at Saint Mary’s University (Halifax, Canada), where she leads the Tropospheric Remote Sensing Laboratory (TRSL). Her research focuses on atmospheric chemistry, physics, and dynamics, with an emphasis on air quality, weather, and climate modeling. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto (2006) and specializes in remote sensing techniques, including FTIR spectroscopy and lidar systems.
Dr. Wiacek’s work bridges theoretical and applied atmospheric science, addressing critical issues such as aerosol-cloud interactions, trace gas dynamics, and planetary boundary layer characterization. Her TRSL lab develops high-quality atmospheric composition datasets to refine climate and pollution models. She teaches courses like ENVS 1250 (Physical Processes in the Environment) and ENVS 3360 (Climate Change), integrating research insights into pedagogy.
Her publications span topics from stratospheric composition analysis to fog microphysics and ocean-air gas exchange, leveraging advanced optical instrumentation. She collaborates extensively with international networks like NDACC and has pioneered open-path FTIR methods for greenhouse gas flux measurements. Dr. Wiacek actively mentors students and researchers across undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels.
