Research
Dr. Beebe's main research is solar physics. In particular, has made many
contributions to our understanding of the structure of the solar chromosphere.
For this research, he often used the Sac Peak Observatory. Though Dr. Beebe is
"retired", he remains very active in the department. He just completed the
Clyde Thombaugh Project, in which he conducted interviews with many of
Dr. Tombaugh colleagues. This project was completed in close collaboration
with the University Library, where an impressive display of many of
Dr. Tombaugh's personal research materials is housed. Dr. Beebe is currently
working to document the history of astronomy in New Mexico.
