Space Physics and Heliophysics

The Space Physics Research group works in the Geospace Physics Laboratory (GPL) at Florica Tech. Current research topics include studying the Solar-Earth magnetospheric and ionospheric interactions, cosmic ray propagation from their source in the galaxies to the interplanetary system (NASA), relativistic charged particle propagation from the Jovian magnetosphere, development of a meridional array of magnetometers up the East coast of the United States, solar wind turbulence and kinetic processes that heat and accelerate the solar corona and the solar wind. The Space Physics Group also designs and fabricates particle and high-energy radiation detectors.
