Biography

Doug Degenstein is a Professor and the EP Undergraduate Chair at the University of Saskatchewan. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics and is a registered Professional Engineer. His research primarily focuses on remote sensing of the atmosphere using optical means, with a special emphasis on satellite-based optical instrumentation. Degenstein conducts in-depth analyses of OSIRIS data to study the dynamics and photochemistry of atmospheric layers, particularly in the upper troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. He investigates retrieval methods for atmospheric aerosol parameters and light scattering properties through the Stratosphere Troposphere Exchange Processes (STEP) aimed at understanding key processes in the region known as the Upper Troposphere Lower Stratosphere (UTLS). His work is at the intersection of atmospheric and space physics, contributing to a better understanding of atmospheric phenomena.
