Javier Fochesatto

Javier Fochesatto, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. His expertise lies in the physics of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), particularly in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. He leads a research group investigating interactions between surface processes, boundary layers, and large-scale climate models using satellite remote sensing.

Education:

• PhD in Physics (2000), Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique, Ecole Polytechnique, Université Paris VI, France
• Engineering Diploma (1991), School of Engineering, National Technological University, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Research Focus: Integrating field experiments in extreme environments with computational climate models to understand ABL dynamics. Key interests include surface-atmosphere interactions, turbulent transport mechanisms, and applications to environmental monitoring in fragile ecosystems.
