Strategic Objectives
• Master the principles of fluid dynamics specific to biological particles.
• Predict how varying climates and weather patterns affect aerosol stability.
• Understand the mechanics of dispersion and deposition in diverse environments.
• Bridge the gap between atmospheric physics and environmental safety.
The Core Challenge
Most researchers focus on the biology of agents while ignoring the complex physical laws that govern their survival and travel through the atmosphere.
