When the universe was roughly 300,000 years old it was in a state with density fluctuations (in the baryons) of a few parts per million. Today, we see superclusters, clusters of galaxies, galaxies, stars, planets, and the world around us. This process of structure formation should have observable imprints, either through scattering effects (such as the Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect) or by gravitational distortions (of distant background objects or of the microwave background fluctuations).

His team has discovered a general mechanism by which plants, green algae and cyanbacteria sense the changes. The photosynthetic apparatus acts not only as an energy transformer, but also as a sensor for the detection of environmental changes. Research in his laboratory is elucidating the nature of this sensor as well as how it regulates gene expression and controls the structure, composition and function of the photosynthetic apparatus.

His current research is focused on how mechanical conditions at the glacier bed are controlled by hydraulic conditions in the subglacial water system. He uses a variety of techniques to investigate the interactions between hydrological and mechanical conditions at the glacier bed, ranging from developing and installing novel subglacial instruments to developing and analyzing numerical models.

Mechanisms of the solar wind energy entry into the upper atmosphere and the establishment of plasma circulation at various ionospheric heights are being investigated. Research is based on data collected by various ground-based radars such as powerful incoherent-scatter radars, coherent HF SuperDARN radars and other radio systems. Another significant area of research is plasma physics of small-scale irregularity formation in the ionosphere at various heights and latitudes that affects the capabilities of coherent radars.

These patterns are determined by dynamics internal to the atmosphere, by climate forcings like anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions and ozone depletion, and by interactions of the atmosphere with the surface. These kind of dynamics can be explored using state-of-the-art climate models, and understood in detail through dynamical theory and simplified versions of the climate models. He is also interested in surface processes involving snow, sea ice, and lake systems, and their relationship to climate. Kushner, P.J. and L.M. Polvani. 2005.
