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:
Christopher J. Spells
Christopher Spells is a Ph.D candidate studying the effects Saharan regions aerosols — specifically Saharan dust and sub-Saharan smoke — have on the atmospheric radiation balance over the tropical Atlantic Ocean. His research involves using satellite observations from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) in conjunction with ground-based and in-situ profile measurements collected during a […]
