Our planet protects us from cosmic rays, solar flares, micrometeorites and huge temperature variations. But what if the planetary shield is not strong enough, or what if we venture out into space itself?! In this press conference, scientists discuss the observation of biosignatures on distant exoplanets and where is the...

Solar activity can knock satellites off track, raising the risk of collisions. Scientists are hoping improved atmospheric models will help. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not unlikely that we will get a large geomagnetic storm in the next four or five years,鈥� says Berger. 鈥淎nd that will really test the whole thing.鈥� The SWx...

At the AGU's 2023 Fall meeting in San Francisco, Andong Hu, a space weather researcher with SWx TREC, presented his work on a machine learning forecast approach, developed at CU 麻豆影院, that gives power transmission operators more lead time. He said, "It's like an early-warning system for the power system...

The first primitive ancestor of future AI-based solar-weather alert systems is live. [SWx TREC's] DstLive system, which debuted on the web in December 2022, uses machine learning to take data about the state of Earth鈥檚 magnetic field and the solar wind and translate both into a single measure for the entire planet, known as DST.

NASA announced that it had selected four Space Weather Centers of Excellence , including the Space Weather Operational Readiness Development (SWORD) center at CU 麻豆影院. As its name suggests, the nearly $10 million center will offer some powerful protection for the planet: SWORD research will seek to help scientists develop...

The Space Weather Technology, Research & Education Center is leading a NASA Space Weather Center of Excellence, an integrated multi-agency initiative to advance the science and technology of space weather. NASA has selected three Space Weather Centers of Excellence (SWxC) and is partnering with the Department of Commerce (DoC) on...

Yang Wang is leading a unique study harnessing satellite data to study how solar activity affects a poorly understood region of Earth鈥檚 upper atmosphere. Wang, a visiting faculty member in the Ann and H. J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences working in the Space Weather Technology, Research, and Education...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced the 2021 winners of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). Swx TREC PhD student Anton Buynovskiy was among those to receive the prestigious award which recognizes and supports individuals early in their graduate training in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields...

Dr. Thomas Berger, SWx TREC executive director, has landed a NASA grant to research space weather with machine learning. Berger is leading a team that has received a two-year, $496,000 grant to design a better forecasting system for solar magnetic eruptions on the sun. More information on this grant can...

SWx TREC co-investigator Cora Randall is the principal investigator for one of two new CU science centers to be funded by NASA. The program is part of NASA鈥檚 Diversity, Realize, Integrate, Venture, Educate (DRIVE) Science Center initiative. Randall's project, Wave-induced Atmospheric Variability (WAVE), studies gravity waves, which can affect Earth's...
