Applications are invited for investigations into space weather, in particular how space weather impacts the Swedish power grid due to geomagnetic disturbances. The work involves the analysis of geomagnetic data from ground magnetic observatories (e.g. IMAGE, SuperMAG, INTERMAGNET) and global space weather models (e.g. SWMF). Our team performs observations, data analysis, and modelling of space…

Sofia Bergman, Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) and Umeå University, will defend her doctoral thesis on low-energy ions around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 26 November. Observing low energy ions is notoriously difficult because their properties are affected greatly by the spacecraft which observes them. Sofia has developed new methods to do this. Using her work,…
