Dr. Heavens left Hampton University at the end of 2019. Please see his current institutional web site or his Linkedin profile.
I am a planetary scientist who uses the knowledge/methods/infrastructure of meteorology and climatology to help geologists more effectively explore the past, either by better integrating earth system modeling with geological investigations or developing the weather services infrastructure that will help robots and humans safely explore Mars, Venus, and beyond. Please consult my curriculum vitae for the most current information or browse the project pages below to learn about the projects I work on or have worked on. I currently tweet (as @WeatherOnMars ) on climate and space sciences.

Student and Postdoctoral Opportunities
I am not able to support students or postdoctoral scholars at this time.
I strongly encourage any undergraduate interested in atmospheric or planetary science to consider the CREST Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) at Hampton University. and apply.
