Margaret Campbell-Brown, Professor and Undergrad Chair

I am interested in the distribution and origin of meteoroids. In particular:

• The origin of sporadic meteoroids (particular comets, any asteroidal or interstellar)
• The physical and chemical properties of meteoroids, as determined from ablation modelling
• The flux of sporadic meteors near the Earth
