Ionospheric redistribution during geomagnetic storms. [PDF]
J Geophys Res Space Phys, 2013 The abundance of plasma in the daytime ionosphere is often seen to grow greatly during geomagnetic storms. Recent reports suggest that the magnitude of the plasma density enhancement depends on the UT of storm onset. This possibility is investigated over a 7year period using global maps of ionospheric total electron content (TEC) produced at the Jet ...

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

On extreme geomagnetic storms [PDF]
Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2014 Extreme geomagnetic storms are considered as one of the major natural hazards for technology-dependent society. Geomagnetic field disturbances can disrupt the operation of critical infrastructures relying on space-based assets, and can also result in terrestrial effects, such as the Quebec electrical disruption in 1989. Forecasting potential hazards is

Solar Cycle and Seasonal Distribution of Geomagnetic Storms with Sudden Commencement [PDF]
, 2013 In this brief paper the seasonal and solar cycle distribution of storms with sudden commencement is presented. A correlation between the number of geomagnetic storms by month and monthly sunspot numbers is observed.

Statistical nature of geomagnetic storms [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1997 On the basis of geomagnetic activity indices and solar wind parameters, a superposed epoch analysis has been conducted for more than 300 geomagnetic storms. The intensity of magnetic storms is found to depend on the duration of the main phase; larger storms have longer timescales.

Two Notable Geomagnetic Storms [PDF]
Nature, 1946 Disturbances of considerable intensity, comprising two distinct geomagnetic storms, occurred during the interval March 23–29, 1946. Displays of the Aurora Borealis have been reported; there was dislocation over long‐distance radio channels and, in the case of the second storm, with submarine‐cable telegraphy.

Quantifying extreme behaviour in geomagnetic activity [PDF]
, 2011 Understanding the extremes in geomagnetic activity is an important component in understanding just how severe conditions can become in the terrestrial space environment. Extreme activity also has consequences for technological systems.

Evaluation of E Layer Dominated Ionosphere Events Using COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 and CHAMP Ionospheric Radio Occultation Data [PDF]
, 2020 At certain geographic locations, especially in the polar regions, the ionization of the ionospheric E layer can dominate over that of the F2 layer. The associated electron density profiles show their ionization maximum at E layer heights between 80 and ...

Can Smartphones Detect Geomagnetic Storms? [PDF]
Space Weather, 2022 AbstractSeveral smartphone models on the Android and iOS platforms have been investigated for their ability to detect geomagnetic storms. Although this capability could have scientific application, there is a growing commercial interest in using smartphones for precision location applications not involving the GPS system.
