About
Dr. Olga Zawadzka is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol optical properties and their climatic impacts, with a particular emphasis on Central and Eastern Europe. Her work bridges satellite remote sensing, ground-based observations, and innovative unmanned aerial system (UAS) profiling to characterize absorbing aerosols and their complex radiative effects. Dr. Zawadzka’s most cited study (39 citations) investigated aerosol optical properties during a 2016 heat wave over Poland, revealing how stable atmospheric conditions influence aerosol behavior. She has made significant contributions to validating and operationalizing satellite aerosol retrieval algorithms, including the SEVIRI near-real-time algorithm developed under the SAMIRA project, and has advanced long-term aerosol climatology through analysis of decades of actinometric data from the Tatra Mountains. Her research is critical for improving air quality monitoring and understanding aerosol-climate interactions in regions with limited observational data. With a growing citation record and a portfolio of methodologically rigorous studies, Dr. Zawadzka is establishing herself as a key figure in European aerosol remote sensing.
