Individuals accepted into the IACPES program will perform important research,  tackling complex atmospheric issues. Research will cover a diverse range of current issues in atmospheric science, from earth to space, where collaboration and integration provide a strategic advantage.  A few of these areas are described below.

• Changes in the arctic atmosphere and arctic methane sources
• Air quality/health issues of sensitive populations
• Changes in the stratosphere brought on by CFC replacements
• Exploration of atmospheres of other planets
• Atmospheric  change
• Implications of climate engineering
• Other atmospheric issues of tomorrow that are unforeseen
• Development of chemical transport models for prediction of climate change and air quality
• Measurement of chemical species on a global scale via instrumentation on satellites
• Understanding Mars’ atmosphere
• Assessment of atmosphere changes brought on by alternate energy sources
