About us
The Space Weather Laboratory focuses on space weather and solar-terrestrial physics. Space weather refers to the environmental conditions in space as driven by solar activity. A major solar event could seriously damage space-borne and ground-based technological systems (satellites, human spaceflight, radio communications, airplanes, power grids and pipelines), which can have devastating effects for national economies. We focus on both basic and applied research on space weather using a research-to-operations (R2O) approach, bringing together the forefront of research with applications and services. We participate in international solar and space weather networks via broad and synergetic collaborations with national and international academic institutions over the globe, EU Horizon, ESA programs, ISSI workshops, and academic mobility.
