Adam Bourassa is a Professor in the College of Arts and Science at the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in the fields of Atmospheric and Space Physics. His research interests include the development of satellite-based remote sensing measurement inversion techniques that are capable of probing the atmosphere globally and repetitively. He is involved in Canada's Optical Spectrograph InfraRed Imaging System (OSIRIS) satellite, which is designed to measure the vertical structure of the atmosphere and analyze the impacts of aerosols in the upper troposphere and stratosphere. In addition to remote sensing, his work focuses on developing radiative transfer modeling inversion methods for aerosols, clouds, smoke, and dust. Bourassa is dedicated to understanding the radiative and chemical effects of aerosols and studying long-term atmospheric trends, which are essential for furthering our understanding of Earth's climate system. He aims to design future optical instrumentation for sub-orbital space-based remote sensing missions, contributing significant knowledge to the field of atmospheric science.
Standard university-wide graduate requirements apply to most arts and science departments unless otherwise specified by the program.
