Undergraduate students may receive research credit for their work in conjunction with the project. All students who wish to be part of this exciting project are welcome to participate. We are currently building a radar system on Kodiak Island that will act as part of a network of radars called SuperDARN that are dedicated to space physics research. We currently have undergraduate research opportunities for students to work with the SuperDARN radar data and learn about geomagnetic activity, radar techniques, and data analysis techniques. The project will require a student with good mathematical and computer programming skills.
Students can study laser techniques in a classroom and laboratory setting.
Students participate in laser radar observations at Poker Flat Research Range working with laser systems, telescope receivers and computer data acquistion systems. Students can structure their work to meet the requirements of EE488, EE497, EE498.
