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:
Sean R. Leavor
I am a first year graduate student Ph.D student studying atmospheric science. I earned my B.S. in physics and mathematics from Washington & Jefferson College in 2015. Before coming to Hampton, I spent two summers in the CREST Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE). During the first summer, I helped create a climatology for polar stratospheric clouds […]
