Dr. Hunten is interested in the atmospheres of all the planets and
satellites: their composition, structure, chemistry, escape, and
evolution. He was an Interdisciplinary Scientist on the Pioneer Venus
Missions and holds the same rank on Galileo; he is also involved in
experiments on the Huygens Probe to Titan and the Planet-B Mars orbiter.
He is presently working on hydrocarbons in the jovian atmosphere and
continues on the long-term study of Na in Mercury's atmosphere.
