Aquatic and Atmospheric Sciences

This group concentrates on problems that span natural divisions of the biosphere- soil, plants, lakes, watersheds, and the atmosphere. The focus is on physical and chemical processes, leading to quantitative models, measurements, and techniques for researchers, industry, and environmental managers. The unifying principle in the research is the development of understanding of the processes involved in the flow of matter and energy across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales within complex natural systems. This principle facilitates natural links between experts in hydrology, meteorology, and atmospheric and aquatic chemistry. The specific current research areas include: Air quality and atmospheric transport phenomena, water quality, and subsurface hydrology.
