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:
John Anderson
My research interests include validating and analyzing data from satellite-based instruments and developing reference global aerosol and trace-gas climatologies and time series analysis with a special emphasis on trend detection and climate change. My doctoral thesis involved the retrieval of microphysical properties such as size distribution, surface area concentrations, volume concentrations and effective radius from the […]

Featured Student:
Kylie A. Lovato
I am a second-year Planetary Science Ph.D. student here at Hampton University. I earned my B.S. from Ohio University in May 2016, majoring in Astrophysics and Meteorology, and minoring in Mathematics. Current work being done is to contribute to research goals within The Living, Breathing Planet team in order to understand atmospheric escape and evolution over time. […]
