The Lightning, Atmosphere, Ionosphere, and Radiation Belt research group (The LAIR) is part of the Aerospace Engineering Sciences (AES) department at the University of Colorado Boulder. Most of our research studies lightning and thunderstorms and their electromagnetic effects on the ionosphere, magnetosphere, and radiation belts - what we call the "near-Earth space environment". We also work on a variety of other projects, the common theme of which is the application and study of space plasma physics.
