Blackouts: A Sociology of Electrical Power Failure
, 2014 Electricity fuels our existence. It powers water purification, waste, food, transportation and communication systems. Modern social life is impossible to imagine without it. This article looks at what happens when the power goes off.

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Modern submarine communication cables, though fiber‐optic in nature, remain vulnerable to space weather hazards due to their internal conductive cables used for powering repeaters. During geomagnetic storms, variations in the geomagnetic field induce geoelectric fields that drive geomagnetically induced voltages along these cables.

Terrestrial Space Weather Protection Through Human‐Produced Mass‐Loading
Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract While humans become more reliant on Earth's space environment, the potential for significant harm from severe space weather continues to grow. As structures from the sun reach Earth's magnetosphere and space environment, they deposit energy that fuels geomagnetic storms.

Geoelectric Field Caused by Flux Transfer Events in an Ionosphere‐Coupled Vlasiator Simulation
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract We report on the relationship between flux transfer events (FTEs) at Earth's magnetopause and the geoelectric field that is induced near the FTEs' magnetic footpoints. We study this system using the global hybrid‐Vlasov code Vlasiator, which has recently been extended to model ionospheric physics.

Importance of High Cadence Magnetometer Data for Investigating Geomagnetic Disturbances
Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) are rapid changes in the magnetic field of the Earth that may drive geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), known to cause damage to infrastructure such as power grids and pipelines. Globally, GIC measurements are often hard to obtain; therefore, GMDs are used as a proxy for GICs.

A power system restoration after a blackout is expected within 8-12 hours, but historical data suggest that it can take up to several days in some occasions.

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Geomagnetic storms represent a space weather hazard to power transmission networks due to the effects of induced geo‐electric fields within the conducting surface of the Earth. These drive electric currents in power transmission lines which can flow to ground through the neutral‐ground connections of transformers.
