The Institute of Geophysics, Planetary Physics, and Signatures 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 climate science. These subject areas are selected based on their breadth of scientific challenges facing the international scientific community, as well as relevance to the strategic objective to extend Laboratory scientific excellence.
IGPPS/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. IGPPS also supports feasibility studies, in order to assess the potential for seed projects to rapidly advance to new capabilities and program growth.
Have you noticed? We’ve added an “S” to the logo. This is to emphasize our interest in understanding which signatures may best be exploited for collecting data relevant to advancing our understanding of Geoscience, Planetary Physics, Astrophysics, and Global Climate.
Collaborations between Los Alamos National Laboratory and university scientists is an effective way to promote creativity and extend science beyond today’s understanding. As part of our strategy to encourage university collaborations, we strongly encourage participation of students and/or post docs, who in turn spend part of their reserach experience working with the Los Alamos scientific staff.
