About
Stephan F. J. De Wekker is a leading figure in boundary-layer meteorology and atmospheric science, with a particular focus on the complex interactions between mountainous terrain and the lower atmosphere. His research bridges observational field studies and advanced modeling to understand atmospheric transport, dispersion, and land-surface exchanges. Among his notable contributions is the development of an autonomous agricultural vehicle to measure soil respiration, a critical but often under-quantified component of the carbon cycle. This work, published in 2019, has garnered attention for its innovative approach to automating field data collection, addressing a key bottleneck in environmental science. De Wekker’s broader impact is reflected in his extensive body of work on mountain meteorology, including studies on thermally driven flows, air quality, and the role of topography in shaping weather and climate. With hundreds of citations across his publications, he has significantly advanced our understanding of how landscapes influence atmospheric processes. His achievements include leading major field campaigns and contributing to foundational knowledge in boundary-layer dynamics, making his research essential for students and scientists studying atmospheric science, environmental monitoring, and climate interactions.
