In the Space, Plasma and Climate Community, our exciting research spans the physics of plasmas in the laboratory and occurring naturally in space, atmospheric physics, and solar system science. This includes the quest for fusion energy, understanding changes in our planet’s climate system and the drive to predict hazardous space weather.
