The current areas of research cover a broad range of topics in earth and space science, from geodynamics to the study of the earth's troposphere, the stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere, and the earth's plasma environment. It also includes research on planetary atmospheres, on stars (including the sun), and on the interplanetary medium. CRESS is involved in numerous Canadian, NASA, and international spaceflight projects including the NASA OSIRIS-REx mission for planetary exploration and Phoenix mission to Mars. CRESS involves faculty from the Departments of Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth, and Space Science and Engineering and Physics & Astronomy. Some current highlights include: CSA Group Achievement Award for leadership in the Wind Imaging Interferometer project; M. Richer, graduate student of Professor McCall, nominated for the doctoral thesis prize and awarded the Plaskett Medal of the Canadian Astronomical Society for 1995; NASA Group Achievement Award for contributions to the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite mission; OMEE Award for Excellence in Research and Technology Development to professors Hastie, Shepson and McConnell; Professor Marshall McCall discovers two new galaxies located nearby to our own galaxy, the Milky way. An award from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation to Professor McConnell has provided high-performance computers for atmospheric modeling of air quality, and a laboratory on the roof of the Petrie Science and Engineering Building. A CFI award to Professor Quine has provided space test facilities; a vibration test facility, and a thermal vacuum facility.  In 2015, CRESS (Professor Michael Daly, York Research Chair in Planetary Science) received more than $1.3 million in funding to build a Canadian Planetary Simulator (CAPS) facility. The Canadian Planetary Simulator will allow the simulation and investigation of extreme terrestrial and other planetary environments as well as the development and testing of instruments suited to these environments. The simulator is the only one of its kind known - a combination of capable integrated instruments with a capable environmental simulator. It will allow Canadian universities to lead high profile research in planetary and instrument science and provide Canadian companies with competitive advantages in the development of instrumentation. Daly will lead a team of scientists from York University, as well as collaborators from eight companies and ten other universities on the project. Also, the members at the CRESS (Professors Tom McElroy and Regina Lee) receive more than $1.68 million in funding to establish a state-of-the-art research facility for designing, building, characterizing and operating instruments and payloads for sub-orbital missions. The facility will support end-to-end mission development for cost-effective, orbital and sub-orbital platforms: nanosatellites, suborbital rockets, high-altitude balloons, and airplanes.
