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 Faculty:
Kunio M. Sayanagi
CV Dr. Sayanagi’s research interests encompass a wide range of topics in planetary atmospheres. His research activities can be categorized into three rough areas; Atmospheric Dynamics, Planetary Imaging Science, and Measurement Method Developments. Dr. Sayanagi studies atmospheric dynamics by numerically modeling atmospheric features such as jetstreams, vortices and waves. He uses the EPIC Atmosphere Model […]

Featured Student:
Xuan He
Currently I am a graduate student of Center for Atmospheric Sciences. Prior to joining the center, I obtained a Master’s degree of Industrial Engineering from Virginia Tech, where I obtained a great amount of knowledge in operational research and conducted research on dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) modeling and optimization. I moved to Hampton Roads area […]
