Dr. Jackson is a mesoscale meteorologist whose research mostly concerns the interaction between the atmosphere and complex terrain and how this affects wind, precipitation, climate, and air quality. He also investigates environmental applications including dispersion of biota and atmospheric pollutants as well as exposure to air pollutants in regions of complex terrain. In pursuing this theme, he and his research group use both in-situ (from surface-based monitoring stations) and remote sensing observations, as well as mesoscale numerical atmospheric models (WRF, Calpuff).
