Key Research Interests

  • Solar Wind – Magnetosphere – Ionosphere coupling.
  • Polar cap and auroral phenomena such as polar cap patches, flow channels and dayside aurora.
  • Energy dissipation through Ultra Low Frequency Field Line Resonance Structures.
  • European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) and Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) observations of ionospheric features.

Project involvements

concluded

FieldPass

In this project, we develop and test preparation and assessment forms that are suited for field and lab related learning outcomes.

SuperDARN radar

The Svalbard SuperDARN Radar, located on Brienosa is an over the horizon ionospheric radar system. It is part of the SuperDARN international network of more than 30 high frequency (HF) radars designed for studying high-latitude plasma convection driven by interactions between the magnetic fields of the Sun and the Earth.

concluded

AWAT-project

The project aimed to initiate a new collaboration between the two research groups through a joint study into how energy is dissipated into the upper atmosphere through interaction between the Sun’s magnetic field (IMF) and the Earth’s magnetic field.

Preparation through instructional videos

FieldPass has produce several videos for different course leaders in order to help students prepare for field and lab activities.

Aurora-like fragments: From fascinating discovery to understanding 

The goal of this project is to investigate the causes of newly discovered aurora-like features known as "fragments" using radar, optical measurements, and photographs from citizen scientists. The project seeks to understand the plasma instabilities driving these phenomena and assess their impact on satellite drag, GPS accuracy, and radio signal disruptions. 

active

Magnetic Pulsations and Transients

The MAPAT-project brings together researchers from Norway, Russia and France. The project will use data from instrumentation across the polar regions, with a specific focus on instruments in Svalbard and Northern Scandinavia.
