The radar aboard the Mars Express spacecraft can generate ion beams arcing through space above the planet, which could lead to a new way of studying the plasma surrounding it.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
The first statistical study of STEVE events suggests that the appearance of these narrow ribbons of light is closely correlated with violent disturbances in Earth’s magnetosphere.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
This AGU section formed a task force to make visible underrepresented scientists deserving of recognition for their work.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Captured unknowingly by scientific instruments for years, a sky phenomenon is finally brought to the attention of researchers by eagle-eyed citizen scientists.Read More »
A new measurement of plasma density distribution in Mercury’s magnetosphere obtained from observations of field line resonance events provides necessary constraint for many planetary science issues.Read More »Natural Hazards
Pipeline corrosion is an example of why we need better awareness of how long-term exposure to moderate space weather may have significant economic impact by slowly degrading vulnerable systems.Read More »Atmospheric Sciences
The weather in the thermosphere includes winds that buffet spacecraft as they orbit the Earth, but how well can these winds be modeled?Read More »Ocean Sciences
Sea level trends in different regions of the ocean caused by both natural and man-made changes in the atmosphere can be partially hidden by internal random processes intrinsic to the ocean. Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
The new research finds the differences in aurora are likely caused by squeezing of Earth’s magnetotail by the solar wind and the Sun’s magnetic field.Read More »
