Tom, should you wish to pursue it, you might get some interesting ideas from
any number of papers in Volumes 1 and 2 of "Natural Radiation Environment
III" DOE Symposium Series 51 CONF 780422, 1980.
Many of these papers fit rather nicely with your student's interests and
background. For example, a number deal with the effect of radon and
atmospheric radioactivity on the atmospheric electric field and related
electrical activity (e.g., thunderstorms).
Neat stuff! Potential research material, who knows.
