What is the Earth Science Office (ESO)?
The Earth Science Office (ESO) participates in many areas of study which are closely related to each other. Like the climate and environment we study, no one aspect stands alone. Water vapor, winds, temperatures at different altitudes, lightning, aerosols, and other factors all connect in a complex, interactive Earth-atmosphere system. This is what makes our work both challenging and intriguing. The best way to grapple with so many questions is by scientists teaming across different disciplines and organizations. |

|
What is the Space Science Office (SSO)?
The Space Science Office (SSO) advances understanding of the Universe as expressed through energetic radiation of cosmic rays, gamma rays and X-rays, and of the coupled Sun-Earth-Planetary system through radiation and magnetized plasmas that permeate interplanetary pace; and of the stars and galaxies and how their evolution affects the future of the universe and creates the environments for life to evolve. |
