Montana State University researchers recently received a three-year, $750,000 NASA grant to fund their work on using lasers to study earth's atmosphere and climate.
The grant comes from the space agency's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research. MSU is one of only a dozen universities around the country to receive one of the grants.
Electrical engineers Kevin Repasky, Joseph Shaw and their colleagues will use the money - along with the matching sum that MSU must provide - to build a high-spectral resolution lidar system to study clouds and particles suspended in the atmosphere.
