Cloudy science, clear insights: Atmospheric scientist studies clouds’ causes and effects
Every cloud is lined, not with silver, but with science — at least from cloud expert Alexandria Johnson’s point of view.
Clouds are ubiquitous. They are one of the most notable characteristics of planet Earth. Studying them is akin to studying the blood and arteries of the planet itself. Johnson, an atmospheric scientist and assistant professor in Purdue University’s College of Science, studies clouds wherever they are: in her lab, on Earth, throughout the solar system and into the galaxy.
