Prof. Liemohn and Prof. Welling are among the team leading the Magnetosphere Auroral Asymmetry eXplorer (MAAX), a pair of satellites equipped with ultraviolet cameras for creating images that completely cover the auroral ovals at each pole, in collaboration with the Southwest Research Institute and University of California, Berkeley.
Students of Prof. Mike Liemohn have been awarded a variety of fellowships:
Stephanie Colón-Rodríguez: NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)
Erika Hathaway: National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship
Alexandra Roosnovo: Rackham Merit Fellowship
Nii-Boi Quartey: Rackham Merit Fellowship
Along with many across the world, did you see the aurora from the giant solar storm on the May 11 weekend (Gannon Storm)?
Our very own Prof. Mike Liemon was featured on Live TV to explain how the aurora and solar storm may affect our daily lives.
Amy Rewoldt, Kathryn Wilbanks, and Prof. Dan Welling are on a student-faculty project team to model the solar corona during the 2024 solar eclipse. The team will live-stream outreach and education leading up to the eclipse, observations during the event, and post-conduct an analysis of model performance.
