Laboratory Mission Statement

Our laboratory uses radar- and rocket-based techniques to investigate magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling and auroral physics.

Our laboratory also focuses on the development of novel ground- and rocket-based active and passive techniques to advance ionosphere-thermosphere physics.
