Space plasma physics examines the behaviour of ionised gases in planetary and astrophysical environments where electromagnetic forces dominate over collisional interactions. This field explores ...

The upper layers of Earth’s atmosphere and its surrounding space environment form a complex, interconnected system that spans from the mesosphere through the thermosphere and ionosphere to the ...

About 100 miles up in the sky, where the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere meet, is a region of the Earth’s atmosphere dubbed the “ignorosphere.” Too high for weather balloons to reach and too ...

The radiation environment near Earth remains a challenging topic of study due to its complex dynamics, spanning multiple energy and temporal scales. During ...
