Robert Kursinski
Ph.D., 1997, California Institute of Technology Lunar and Planetary Lab University of Arizona Tucson AZ 85721 PAS 580 520.621.2139 E-mail Kursinski Robert Kursinski joined the University of Arizona’s Institute of Atmospheric Physics in 2000, and he was given a joint appointment in Planetary Sciences/LPL in 2002. Before coming to Tucson, he had a productive early career at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he received numerous technical innovation, service, and group achievement awards for his work on various radio science teams. In addition to his work on NASA Mars exploration, Dr. Kursinski is at the forefront in using GPS technology to remotely sense the atmosphere of the Earth and to develop an improved understanding of weather and climate. He works on non-GPS remote sensing technology as well, and is involved in developing new NOAA, as well as NASA, environmental remote sensing satellites and sensors. His atmospheric observing work is also being integrated into large-scale data assimilation efforts. Some of Dr. Kursinski’s current projects include sensing water vapor and ozone via radio occultation and the assimilation of GPS meteorological data into weather and climate analyses. He also has plans to study water vapor feedback by assessing how moisture is controlled in the subtropics and upper troposphere. |
