Adriana Bailey

Adriana Bailey is an atmospheric scientist who studies the processes that control humidity, cloudiness, and precipitation. Her research probes questions on scales as small as clouds and as big as the globe and asks how variations in climate affect water availability and hydrological connections between places. She is particularly interested in questions of moisture transport ...

Mark Moldwin

I am the PI of NASA's Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC) Mission's NEMISIS magnetometer. GDC consists of six spacecraft to measure the energy flow from the magnetosphere to the ionosphere. This energy creates structure in the upper atmosphere that can disrupt communication and navigation signals, damage power grids, and decrease satellite lifetimes. My goal is to ...

Cheng Li

My research focuses on developing advanced numerical models and computational tools to enhance our understanding and prediction capabilities for both terrestrial and extraterrestrial climate systems. By leveraging the power of data science, I aim to unravel the complexities of atmospheric dynamics and climate processes on Earth, as well as on other planets such as Mars, ...

Mohammed Ombadi

My research focuses on understanding and quantifying climate change impacts on hydroclimatic extremes. From heavy storms and floods to extreme heatwaves and droughts, I study the changing characteristics of these events and their impacts on our daily lives. I use a wide range of data-driven methods such as causal inference, information theory, nonlinear dynamics and ...

Liang Zhao

I am working on analyzing the solar wind plasma measurements obtained by multiple space missions. Especially, I am interested in the solar wind heavy ion elemental abundance and charge states measured by SWICS on Ulysses and ACE and HIS onboard Solar Orbiter mission. Applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms on solar wind plasma ...

Critical infrastructure in the civilian, commercial, and military sectors can be harmed by space weather caused by highly variable solar and solar wind activities. Understanding the underlying physical processes of space weather, and improving our specification and forecasting, are required at the national level to protect vital assets on the ground and in space. One ...

Comprehensive investigations of solar, interplanetary, and Earth’s Magnetospheric systems utilizing state-of-the-art in-situ observations and global simulations. The research topics of interest involve critical open science questions, including solar coronal heating, solar wind acceleration and heating processes, magnetospheric dynamics, and space weather predictions. The research tools include statistical data analyses to generate physics-based models. Accomplishments and ...

Xianglei Huang

Prof. Huang is specialized in satellite remote sensing, atmospheric radiation, and climate modeling. Optimization, pattern analysis, and dimensional reduction are extensively used in his research for explaining observed spectrally resolved infrared spectra, estimating geophysical parameters from such hyperspectral observations, and deducing human influence on the climate in the presence of natural variability of the climate ...

Christiane Jablonowski

Machine learning approaches and new data science algorithms are an emerging frontier for the atmospheric sciences. We explore whether newly developed physics-guided machine learning algorithms trained with atmospheric model data or observations can serve as emulators for physical processes in weather and climate models, such as the time-consuming solar radiation code, precipitation mechanisms, or the ...
