Mission:

The Environmental Physics Division of the European Physical Society (EPS) represents and provides a forum for European Scientists in any aspect of Environmental Physics including its neighbouring disciplines. This comprises the physics of global and climate change, the physics of the atmosphere (including atmospheric processes, radiation transport, remote sensing of the atmosphere), the physics of the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, air-water interactions and natural resources.

Founded in 2001, the EPD has first concentrated on the Earth atmosphere, both from the measurement and the modelling side. Remote sensing from space of atmospheric composition has been the focus of divisional activity in the beginning.
