About
Iwona S. Stachlewska is a leading atmospheric physicist whose research focuses on aerosol remote sensing, boundary layer dynamics, and the characterization of atmospheric particles using advanced lidar and satellite technologies. As the head of the Remote Sensing Laboratory at the University of Warsaw, she has made pivotal contributions to understanding long-range transported biomass burning aerosols, heat wave effects on aerosol optical properties, and the interplay between surface, boundary layer, and columnar aerosol properties over urban and Arctic environments. Her most-cited work (130 citations) on microphysical characterization of North American biomass burning particles across three EARLINET stations exemplifies her impact on continental-scale aerosol transport studies. Stachlewska has also pioneered the validation of satellite-derived aerosol optical depth using AERONET data and developed near-real-time algorithms for SEVIRI retrievals, enhancing regional air quality monitoring. She played a key role in the EARLINET/ACTRIS COVID-19 campaign, combining sun-photometer and lidar inversions to assess lockdown effects on atmospheric composition. With over 250 citations across her portfolio, her research bridges ground-based, airborne, and satellite observations, offering critical insights for climate modeling and air quality management.
