Stephen D. Fischer received his Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry from George Mason College (it is now a University) in 1971. Since then he has been involved in basic research in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Maryland, The Georgia Institute of Technology and, now, Clark Atlanta University. His experimental background includes the measurement of gas-phase kinetic rate constants for OH radical reactions, and the collection and analysis of data obtained from a wide array of meteorological instruments including acoustic sounders, sonic anemometers and krypton hygrometers. He is also a computer programmer, who develops micrometeorological models that employ the data collected from various field sites throughout the State. Steve is part of the team that designs and teaches the courses that we offer. He is also responsible for managing the Physics 104 (Survey of Earth Sciences) laboratory course that is offered to non-science majors.
