Research Groups at CIRES

Research groups are the smallest unit of CIRES but also the backbone of our institute. They vary in size from a few researchers to as many as fifty or more. These groups are engaged in research spanning all fields of the environmental sciences from the solid Earth, biology, the atmosphere, and the oceans to the cryosphere. Listed here are just a few of the research groups within the Institute.

Atmospheric Dynamics and Remote Sensing. Balsley Group.	Polar Climate and Meteorology. Cassano Group.	Land Use and Climate Change. Chase Group.	Earthquakes and Tectonic Plate Motions. Bilham Group. Atmospheric VOC Research. DeGouw Group. Structure, Function of Microbial Communities. Fierer Group Atmospheric Aerosols. Jimenez Group. Tectonics of the Western United States. Jones Group Climate Modeling; Water and the Carbon Cycle. Noone Group Molecular Level Atmospheric Chemistry. Vaida Group
LIDAR and Remote Sensing for Atmospheric/Space Science and Environmental Research. Chu Group.	Ocean Physics and Its Role in Climate. Fox-Kemper Group.	Cryospheric Research. National Snow and Ice Data Center Group.
