SpaceWeather Discussion Group- Journal Club-

Space weather research addresses understanding of the physics of the connected Sun-Earth system. It specifies and predicts the physical conditions in the space that adversely affect the safety of manned space missions and technological systems such as satellites, electronic power grids, communication and navigation systems.
This Discussion Group is our weekly meeting to discuss current research and the most recent papers. Check also:

We meet every other Tuesday 11:00am-12:00am Room: 301 Research I Building
Each member assigned is responsible for presenting his/her own research, any new paper relevant for the group; or any other topic requested by the group.

If you are presenting a paper, please send it in advance to me so I can distribute that.

All are welcome.
If you want to join and lead a discussion please send an e-mail to
