What do we study?
Atmospheric science is the study of the physics, chemistry, and dynamics of gases, clouds, and aerosols that surround the planetary bodies of the solar system. At HU, research is extended beyond the usual bounds of the atmosphere to include the interplanetary medium and processes of "space weather" affecting Earth and other planets.

Featured Student:
Geselle N. Coleman
Currently, I am a second-year master’s student in the Atmospheric Science field at Hampton University. Before attending Hampton U, I went to Jackson State University in Jackson, MS and received my B.S in Meteorology April 2017. For my current research, I am looking into OWLETS ( Ozone-Water Land Environmental Transitional Study), where researchers are determined […]
