Coordinated ground and space-based exploration of the cusp ionosphere

University of Leicester Department of Physics and Astronomy

At near-noon local times, at locations in the high arctic near 80 degrees North and South, the magnetic fields which originate in the conducting core of our planet extend upwards and are magnetically connected to the dayside magnetopause. Read more

Toward next generation space environment modeling capability

University of Birmingham Department of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering

The ionosphere is a layer of plasma in the upper atmosphere (thermosphere), produced by the ionization of atmospheric constituents by solar radiation and energetic particles. Read more

Supervisor: Dr D Themens

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Characterization of the Space Weather and radiation environment at Mars and the impacts on exploration

University of Leicester Department of Physics and Astronomy

The Sun continuously emits magnetic fields, particles and radiation that can interact with a planet’s upper atmosphere and surrounding magnetic environment to produce a myriad of effects, such as radio communications issues, which are typically referred as Space Weather. Read more

Jupiter’s fiery aurora – how heat is driven into the atmosphere (Ref: STFCDTP24/EE/MPEE/STALLARD)

Northumbria University Faculty of Engineering and Environment

Our understanding of Jupiter’s aurora is radically changing, as we try to understand a wealth of new observations, from ground-based telescopes, from the Juno mission and most recently, from the James Webb Telescope. Read more

Reconstruction of the dayside magnetopause using machine learning methods

University College London Department of Space & Climate Physics

The Earth’s magnetopause is the boundary between the solar wind and the magnetosphere. During coronal mass ejections, the solar wind dynamic pressure often increases and the magnetopause comes closer to the Earth. Read more

Space Weather Priming: the missing link in prediction

University of Southampton School of Ocean and Earth Sciences

Project Overview. This project will answer the question. do the impacts of solar storms depend on previous space weather activity? Decades of data from powerful, advanced radars will be used to study how our space environment responds at different temporal and spatial scales to space weather storms. Read more
