18/05/2009Chris Owen, Andrew Fazakerley, Sandrine Grimald, Colin Forsyth, Natasha Doss and Segheen Beyene attended the 17th Cluster Workshop, hosted by the University of Uppsala. Andrew, Sandrine and Segheen presented talks, and Colin and Sandrine also presented posters. For details of the presentations, see the workshop website. |
06/04/2009A new section has been added to the Space Plasma Group website - Science Nuggets. This section gives a brief overview of recent papers by scientists in the group and is aimed at scientists and the public alike. |
27/03/2009New calibrations for the Cluster PEACE data have been released. The latest calibrations are now v5.2. These calibrations improve the velocities determined in the solar wind and have extended the interval for which the data is valid by more than a year for 6 out of the 8 sensors. For further details, please contact Andrew Fazakerley. |
13/03/2009Kimberley Steed was selected to take part in the SET for Britain event at the Houses of Parliament. She presented her work on space weather determining the source region of a coronal mass ejection. Kimberley also discussed her experience in the weekly UCL news podcast. |
23/02/2009Andrew Fazakerley participated in the ISSI International Team on "Conjugate response of the dayside magnetopause and dawn/dusk flanks using Cluster-THEMIS conjunctions and ground based observations" |
09/02/2009The Space Plasma group welcomes Dr. Natasha Doss into the PEACE Operations team. Natasha joins us from Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics and Astrophysics group at UCL. |
05/02/2009The Space Plasma Group is advertising for PhD students to take up exciting research projects in space plasma physics. Please see our PhD Opportunities pages or contact Professor Chris Owen (cjo[at]mssl.ucl.ac.uk) for details. |
01/02/2009The Space Plasma Group bids farewell to Dr. Claire Foullon. Claire is moving to the Centre for Fusion, Space and Astrophysics at the University of Warwick. We wish her well in her future endeavours. |
12/01/2009Andrew Fazakerley, C. Forsyth and Andrew Walsh participated in the ISSI International Team on "Comparative Cluster-Double Star measurements of the Magnetotail". Andrew Fazakerley led the team with M. Dunlop (Rutherford Appleton Lab.) |
05/01/2009Chris Owen participated in the ISSI International Team on "Advances in understanding of the structure and dynamics of magnetic flux transfer at the Earth's magnetopause" |
15/12/2008Congratulations to Andrew Walsh, who won the Alan Johnstone Award for outstanding scientific achievement by a research student. Over the past three years Andrew has had 11 publications and has helped to organise the 5th Cluster Tail Workshop. |
