Professor Carlsten collaborates with Professors Kevin Repasky and Joe Shaw of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering on optical source development and applications to LIDAR studies. Current areas of interest in the LIDAR studies involve detection of water vapor as well as aerosols in the atmosphere, scattering of laser light from honey bees in connection with explosive detection, and monitoring of CO2 in connection with sequestration for global warming and the ZERT program.
