Marek StastnaMarek Stastna is a professor in the mathematics department at the University of Waterloo. His primary research interest is the motion of stratified fluid mechanics, such as lakes, the coastal ocean and the atmosphere. He is part of the Environmental nd Geophysical Fluid Mechanics group. He works on the simulation of stratified, natural waters. This includes fundamental work on hydrodynamics instabilities, bottom boundary layers and mixing, as well as more applied work on lake scale circulation. Professor Stastna has been actively involved in the building of several numerical models, using pseudospectral and finite element methodologies. He has published numerous articles and book chapters.
