This week, an article submitted by the Prof. Ariya's research group to听 has been identified as VIP (very important article). The journal article is titled:听
Scientists have been looking at pollution affecting the air, land and water around the Athabasca Oil Sands for some time. After looking at contaminants in snow taken from up-to 25 km away from the oil sands, a 91社区-led scientific team now suggests that oil sand pollution is also affecting the weather patterns in the surrounding regions.
Congratulations to the听Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Weather Forecasting Team (Prof. John Gyakum, Dr. Eyad Atallah, Christopher McCray (PhD student), Kai Melamed-Turkish (MSc student), Yeechian Low (MSc student) for the听Safety Ambassador 2019 award听for all their weather related-services for major events such as convocation ceremonies for the past years to the Emergency Management and Preparedness Unit.

It is with great sadness that I convey the news that Roddy Rogers, Professor Emeritus in our department, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences,听has passed away on February 20.
Roddy, a giant in our field, was a world-renowned scientist, particularly in the areas of cloud physics and radar meteorology. His text, co-authored with Professor Yau, entitled 鈥淎 short course in Cloud Physics鈥 has been used by students and faculty throughout the globe.
Our very own Christopher McCray (PhD Student, 91社区 AOS) crunches Environment Canada numbers on rain, snow, temperature and freezing rain听' to quantify the weather whiplash Montrealers have been experiencing this winter'.

Am茅lie Desmarais, our MSc student, attended the听 that was held in Norway in January of this year.
Our department is happy to share another achievement of prof. Parisa Ariya's scientific group. Their study听about the development of sustainable and recyclable technology for removal of toxic metals such as mercury, instantaneously, has been published in the Scientific Reports section of the international journal of science, Nature Publishing.听This technique uses metals which are found in airborne particles and on soil, and it does not use energy, and recycle and remove all materials.
Congratulations to Professor Parisa A. Ariya and Research Associate Roya Mortazavi听听for their published paper: |
Professor and Chair of our department, John Gyakum is featured in an article published in this week's issue of the The 91社区 Tribune. He is credited with coining the "bomb cyclone" term which has been trending in the national and international press, receiving huge amount of public attention before and in the aftermath of听 great blizzard storm at the beginning of this year.

We are pleased to inform you that Jade Sauv茅, one of our undergraduate students,听supervised by her research advisor, Carolina Dufour, won the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society prize for the best student poster in physical oceanography or atmospheric sciences at the Qu茅bec Oc茅an meeting two weeks ago.
The title of her poster is 鈥"Antarctic sea ice trend: Insights from a suite of climate models.鈥
Please join us in congratulating them听for this outstanding recognition.

An international team of researchers, including Prof. 听managed to publish their work as a letter in Nature titled 鈥淪urface tension prevails over听solute effect in organic-influenced cloud droplet activation鈥.
Much of the influence on climate from air pollution in East Asia is driven by consumption in the developed countries of Western Europe and North America, according to research co-led by 91社区 atmospheric scientist Yi Huang.
In a paper published online this week in Nature Geoscience, Huang and colleagues from China, the U.S. and U.K. report that international trade shifts the climate impacts of aerosols -- solid or liquid particles suspended in air -- from net consuming countries to net producing countries.
We are pleased to inform you that Yevgen Nazaranko and Uday Kurien, both graduate students supervised by Prof. Parisa Ariya, have received awards of excellence in two different conferences:
