The future
As IAS looks to the future, we are working to develop additional unique opportunities associated with our region that leverage our historical strengths and developing expertise. For example, the T-28, a specialized aircraft designed to penetrate and investigate severe storms, operated for more than 30 years by IAS scientists for the NSF, retired in 2004. A successor has been suggested in the A-10 Warthog, which will have enhanced capabilities, and an endeavor is underway to procure this aircraft.
Most of the Institute's scientists teach in the university's Department of Atmospheric Sciences. The department offers a minor in atmospheric sciences through the bachelor of science in interdisciplinary sciences (B.S.I.S.) program, an MS degree, and an interdisciplinary PhD program in atmospheric and environmental sciences. The Institute employs both undergraduate and graduate students from atmospheric sciences as research assistants.
