Dr. Fabiano Rodrigues is leading the research efforts of the Upper Atmosphere Remote Sensing Lab. He has been working with different types of remote sensing techniques including those using GPS signals and ground-based radar systems for a better specification and understanding of ionospheric dynamics.

Dr. Rod Heelis is the Director of the Center for Space Sciences, and an expert on in-situ measurements of the upper atmosphere and ionospheric electrodynamics. Some of the lab projects include the comparison of in-situ satellite measurements made by CSS instruments onboard satellites (e.g. C/NOFS) and observations made by ground-based radar systems.

We have a group of enthusiastic students currently working on different projects related to radar and GPS observations of the ionosphere, modelling of the upper atmosphere, and in-situ measurements of the ionospheric plasma.
