Research on Atmospheric Plasmas at New Mexico Tech
My team works at the interface between atmospheric/space sciences and plasma physics. We tackle scientific questions in a number of topics, including: atmospheric and space electricity; thunderstorms and its effects in the near-Earth space environment; lightning physics; modeling of electrical discharge plasmas; waves in space plasmas; and development of computer-based tools for analysis of atmospheric and geophysical phenomena. See the Research and Publications tabs for further information.
