Dr. Crowley has diverse interests, including modeling and simulation, data analysis and instrument development for the atmospheres of Earth and Mars. He has authored (or co-authored) over 60 publications in refereed journals, ranging from the magnetosphere to the mesosphere. His current interests include the energy inputs to the thermosphere-ionosphere system, and their effects on the neutral density and composition; the high latitude convection pattern, it’s specification, and penetration to lower latitudes; atmospheric waves.
