Outreach

A number of our team members are active in undertaking outreach, public engagement, and citizen science related to our scientific research topic.

Online educational resources

You can find out more about magnetopause surface modes and why they’re like a giant magnetic drum in space in this popular YouTube video.

There are plenty more videos in this playlist.

Citizen science

Members of the public can even contribute to our research into surface (and other) magnetospheric waves simply by listening to the data. This is part of the NASA-funded pilot HARP (Heliophysics Audified Resonances in Plasmas) project.

Artistic outputs

We also have artistic films that have been produced containing these waves from space converted into audible sound, demonstrating the breadth of inspiration that they evoke.
