Fiber Optics Opens Window into Subsurface Deformation

by M. Bayani Cardenas 18 December 201816 February 2022

The distributed deformation of buried materials is difficult to map, but a new approach is able to resolve vertical deformation over the length of a fiber optic cable.

Measuring the Magnetic Reconnection Rate in the Magnetotail

by Y. Wang 7 December 201818 July 2023

Both simulations and observations are used to measure the magnetic reconnection rate in the Earth’s magnetotail, suggesting that the rate is correlated with the intensity of a magnetic substorm.

Cassini Reveals a Missing Link on Saturn’s Rotating Aurora

by Y. Wang 20 November 201816 November 2021

The bright aurorae dancing in the sky are produced by charged particles traveling along the magnetic field lines from tens of planetary radii. By why do aurorae rotate at Saturn but not at Earth?
