Expanding the Frontiers of Space & Earth Sciences

The Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at Los Alamos National Laboratory is committed to promoting and supporting high quality, cutting-edge science in the areas of astrophysics, space physics, solid planetary geoscience, and complex dynamical earth systems. These focus areas are selected based on their breadth of scientific challenges facing the international scientific community, as well as on the strategic need to extend Laboratory scientific excellence.

IGPP/LANL makes a special effort to promote and support new research ideas, which can be further developed through seed funding into major programs supported by federal or other funding sources.

Partnerships

Collaboration between LANL and university scientists is viewed by LANL as an effective arrangement to promote creativity and extend science beyond today's understanding.

This effort is accomplished by:

• Developing long-term collaborative relationships with universities whose research interests are important to the Laboratory.
• Sponsoring, partnering with, and funding university professors and students in areas that are important to meet Laboratory objectives.
• Establishing relationships with students working in these research areas and recruiting them to the Laboratory upon graduation where they can continue their work and help the Laboratory to fulfill is objectives.
• Instituting educational programs to provide Laboratory personnel with specific knowledge and skills that make them more effective in completing projects that meet Laboratory objectives
