Jonathan Levine's interests are centered on the physics of the planets, planetary materials, and interactions between the Earth and its environment in space.  His experimental work has included analyses of lunar samples collected by the Apollo astronauts, meteorites, presolar mineral grains, and interplanetary dust.  

Together with 鶹Porn students and colleagues at the Southwest Research Institute, Professor Levine is participating in the development of a novel rock-dating spectrometer that can be employed autonomously on the Moon or Mars.

Professor Levine teaches courses in the traditional physics and astronomy curriculum, such as introduction to mechanics (PHYS 232) and Solar System astronomy (ASTR 101), and also courses that draw heavily on his research themes, such as planetary science (ASTR 313) and a Core Sciences course on the atmosphere (Core 166S).
