Congratulations NASA Jack Eddy Heliophysics Fellows

A warm welcome to the 2020 cohort to this important postdocotoral fellowship comprised of (left to right) Camilla Scolini, Lindsay Goodwin, and Murong Qin. Over the next two years, these new postdocs will conduct projects focused on the emerging field of heliophysics. In particular Sun-Earth system research that crosses the traditional heliophysics subdomains of the Sun, heliosphere, magnetosphere, and ionosphere/upper atmosphere. Find out more about their projects.

2020 NASA Heliophysics Summer School

We were delighted to complete the 2020 NASA "Living With a Star" Heliophysics Summer School whose students gathered with us virtually! We so enjoyed having you explore this summer's theme "Explosive Space Weather Events and their Impacts." Although this year's school was virtual we hope the robust online infrastructure served you well and provided a positive educational and personal experience. Thank you to all those involved! For those not familiar find out more about this unique educational program!

Congratulations!

We are pleased to announce the winning applicants of the 2019 NASA Jack Eddy "Living With a Star" Postdoctoral Fellows in the field of heliophysics!

What is Heliophysics

Heliophysics is all of the science common to the field of the Sun-Earth connections. This fast-developing field of research covers many traditional sub-disciplines of space physics, astrophysics, and climate studies. The NASA Living with a Star program, with its focus on the basic science underlying all aspects of space weather, acts as a catalyst to bring the many research disciplines together to deepen our understanding of the system of systems formed by the Sun-Earth connection.

Two programs have emerged from this effort:
