Areas of Interest:
Aeronomy, Optics

Research Group:
Space and Planetary Physics

Education:
Ph.D., University of Rochester, 1962

Current Research:
Global circulation dynamics of, but not limited to, the Earth's upper atmosphere. The experimental investigations consist of optical remote-sensing using very high-resolution spectroscopic techniques, while the analysis and interpretation include modeling methods developed with colleagues. At present, operating ground-based observing stations are located at South Pole, Antarctica, Mt. John, New Zealand, and Poker Flat, Alaska. The aeronomic investigations are, in turn, supported by both theoretical and laboratory studies of novel optical interference devices.
