Dr. Hind A. Al-Abadleh - Adjunct professor, Chemistry Department, University of Waterloo, Assistant Professor, Wilfrid Laurier University
Dr. Al-Abadleh research interests involve physical chemistry of environmental interfaces commonly found in atmospheric and soil environments using mainly infrared spectroscopy and other surface sensitive techniques.
For more information on Dr. Al-Abadleh's research, see http://www.wlu.ca/science/chemistry/halabadleh/ |

Dr. John C. Lin - Assistant professor, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Waterloo
Dr. Lin's research interests lie at the land-atmosphere interface, where greenhouse gases, pollutants, water, energy, and momentum are exchanged between the land and the atmosphere.
Extensive human activities are altering the concentrations of different gases in the atmosphere and the fluxes of energy and momentum, with potentially
profound climate and environmental consequences. Dr. Lin's group seeks to understand the impact of such human-induced changes. For more information on Dr. Lin's research, see http://www.science.uwaterloo.ca/~jcl/.
