Operating name: Centre for Research in Earth and Space Science CRESS
The Centre for Research in Earth and Space Science (CRESS) is an interdisciplinary research unit in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. 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, 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 Phoenix mission to Mars.

An award from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation to Professor McConnell has provided high performance computers for atmospheric modelling 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.
