We are working on flexible, interdisciplinary computational approaches for understanding the atmosphere.

At Harvey Mudd College, Prof. Sarah Kavassalis gets to lead a group of amazing undergraduate students in computational research to answer important questions about air quality and the climate.

We use a combination of chemical transport models, machine learning, and some data collection of our own to study our local atmosphere!
