About
Christopher E. Sioris is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol remote sensing, air quality monitoring, and the integration of satellite and ground-based observations into chemical transport models. He has made pivotal contributions to understanding aerosol optical properties and their environmental impacts, particularly in challenging regions like the Alberta oil sands. His highly cited work on AEROCAN, the Canadian sub-network of AERONET, demonstrates the utility of long-term aerosol optical depth (AOD) data for tracking particulate matter and improving air quality applications across Canada. Sioris has also advanced satellite-based remote sensing by rigorously assessing AOD products from instruments such as MODIS, POLDER, and MISR, providing critical validation for their use in industrial regions. His recent development of aerosol optical properties for the GEM-MACH air quality model has enhanced photolysis rate calculations, enabling more accurate simulations of atmospheric chemistry in biomass burning plumes. With over 50 citations across his most influential papers, Sioris’s work bridges observational data and modeling, directly supporting policy-relevant air quality management and climate research.
