Spectroscopy : HABLab members use spectroscopic techniques to study planetary atmospheres and surfaces within the Solar System and beyond.
Radiative Transfer : Our group develops, applies, and validates cutting-edge models for simulating radiation-atmosphere interactions.
Planetary Climate : Members of the HABLab use 1-D and 3-D tools to study essential processes in planetary and brown dwarf atmospheres.
Mission Design : The HABLab team engages with technologists and engineers to help design next generation exoplanet characterization missions.
