About CAS

The Center for Atmospheric Sciences (CAS) is located at Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. CAS is the research center for the Department of Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. We have a threefold focus of closely related objectives:

  • fundamental research;
  • education at the graduate and undergraduate levels; and
  • outreach to the public, university, and K-12 communities.

CAS is especially devoted to increasing the participation of minorities in the field of atmospheric sciences. The center supports the nation's programs in atmospheric, Earth radiation, and space sciences and works closely with NASA as well as institutions all around the world.
