Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University
In 1975 the Laboratory for Planetary Atmospheres was established within the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Stony Brook. Its creation reflected the fact that several College faculty members
had developed active research programs in this area. In 1988 the Institute for Terrestrial
and Planetary Atmospheres (ITPA) was established within the University, reflecting
the fact that faculty in several departments in different colleges had active research
and graduate education programs in the atmospheric sciences. The Institute’s creation
facilitated interactions in this area, led to the addition of atmospheric science
faculty at Stony Brook, and increased the external visibility of the University’s
efforts in the atmospheric sciences.
In 1992 the Institute relocated to the Marine Sciences Research Center (the former name for SoMAS), and the faculty had their appointments shifted there. This move reflected the University’s
realization that many aspects of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans must be considered
in an integrated manner and that the ITPA’s emphasis upon global atmospheric issues
is an excellent complement to SoMAS’s emphasis on coastal issues. ITPA is now referred
to as the Division of Atmospheric Sciences at SoMAS.
