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:
Justin Garland
I am a second-year Planetary Sciences graduate student researching under Kunio Sayanagi studying Jupiter’s atmosphere. I earned my B.S. at the University of Central Florida. There, I worked under Dr. Joseph Harrington characterizing the orbits, mass, and atmospheric composition of hot-Jupiter exoplanets. Specifically, I worked to refine measurements for WASP-32b using our group’s photometry pipeline and the open-source […]
