Cora Randall

Cora is a professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and a scientist at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. Her main area of expertise is remote sensing of the Earth’s middle atmosphere, with particular emphasis on the polar regions. She investigates processes related to stratospheric ozone depletion, polar mesospheric clouds, and atmospheric coupling through solar and magnetospheric energetic particle precipitation. She teaches chemistry, climate, radiative transfer, and remote sensing. Cora is a current or prior member of numerous international satellite science teams and a principal investigator on the Cloud Imaging and Particle Size (CIPS) experiment on the NASA Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) satellite mission. She is an elected fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
