Arthur Beiser studied physics and received his PhD from New York University , where he later became an associate professor of physics. He was a Senior Research Scientist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University, where he focused on cosmic rays and magnetohydrodynamics in geophysics and astrophysics . He worked both theoretically and experimentally, taking part in expeditions to the observation of cosmic rays and magnetic phenomena to Alaska and the Pacific.
He is a Fellow of the Explorers Club and chaired the Explorers Club's Committee on Space Exploration .
Beiser is known for numerous physics textbooks, but also published books on geology and sailing (he is a passionate sailor who sailed around Cape Horn and twice crossed the Atlantic in his sailing boat). His wife Germaine Beiser is also an author and co-author of physics textbooks.
