Tom is also the Principal Investigator of the TIMED SEE and SDO EVE satellite instrument programs at LASP. There are several future research projects where Tom is playing a key role. His studies and work are focused primarily on the solar ultraviolet irradiance and its long-term effects on the Earth's atmosphere. Tom is part of the Solar Influences Group here at LASP.
