How much field-aligned electromagnetic energy flows from the magnetosphere to the ionosphere, at which scales into each hemisphere?

“The Living Planet Fellowship allowed me to continue in the direction I was pursuing previously, bringing some impactful work to completion. At the same time the networking opportunities allowed me to make new contacts and advance my career.”

 

After the end of the Living Planet Fellowship, Ivan was a Research Associate at the University of Calgary.

  • SIEMIC: Swarm Investigation of the Energetics of Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling

    Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Ivan Pakhotin. Ivan’s recent published work in magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling (MIC) using the unprecedented Swarm dataset has revealed that Alfven waves play a key role in MIC dynamics, with small scales carrying very significant amounts of energy. His recent preliminary work has further indicated that in fact most …

  • Energy from solar wind favours the north
    January 12, 2021

    Using information from ESA’s Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have made a discovery about how energy generated by electrically-charged particles in the solar wind flows into Earth’s atmosphere – surprisingly, more of it heads towards the magnetic north pole than towards the magnetic south pole. Read the full story. This research was supported by the ESA …
