Video content of UAlbany's Atmospheric Sciences Research Center (ASRC). The atmosphere plays an essential role in maintaining and sustaining plant, animal, and human life. Therefore, the mission of scientists, students, engineers, and technologists at ASRC is excellence in research and education to promote understanding and stewardship of our fragile atmosphere. Through careful and detailed study of the chemical and physical nature of the atmosphere and its interaction with other Earth systems, especially the impact of human activity, we are committed to the development of intelligent systems designed to enhance the scientific capacity and resiliency of New York State and beyond. By continually engaging and forging partnerships with schools, communities, businesses, and government officials we foster public awareness and education of the importance of our work and aid in their understanding and adaptation to short-term severe weather phenomenon as well as long term climate change.
