PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS:
Dr. Borys, who has a background and research interest in high latitude
and high elevation regions, has conducted studies of cloud, snow and
aerosol chemistry in the Sierra Nevada, the Rocky Mountains, on Mauna
Loa in Hawaii, on the Greenland Ice Sheet, Arctic coastal sites, and
the Canary Islands. Most recently, he has been working on a balloon-borne
cloud videometer to measure droplet size distributions. The strong link
between aerosols and the microphysics of clouds has directed his research
toward inadvertent weather and climate change that would result from
the increasing influence of man on the composition of our atmosphere.
His interest in high latitude and high elevation regions is reflected
in the successful maintenance and renovation of DRI's Storm Peak (Research
and Education) Laboratory, located in the Rocky Mountains.
