Best way to get a taste of this is to come & visit (details on website) #heliophysics ☀️ #SolarPhysics #SpacePhysics
- The Fowler Award in Geophysics goes to Dr John Coxon, of Northumbria University, for his world leading and novel research on the distribution and dynamics of field-aligned currents in near-Earth space. Congratulations! 🥳 #RASAwards2025
- Our new paper on The Interplay Between Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection and Turbulence published in #SpaceScienceReviews! We discuss all manner of interaction between reconnection and turbulence and there is even a primer on the basics of turbulence theory. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
- Interested in the fundemental #plasma processes that accelerate particles in the Universe and helping to shape the next space instrumentation and missions? I'm advertising a fully-funded #PhD on these very topics! #SpacePhysics #Astrophysics #PlasmaPhysics www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
- Springer Nature's 2024 Kees de Jager Prize for the best article in the journal #SolarPhysics of 2023 awarded to Gordon Petrie (NSO) – Congratulations! link.springer.com/journal/1120...
- Our paper on the instrumental discrepancies on solar flare observations in Lyman-alpha emission, led by Harry Greatorex, has now been published in Solar Physics: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
