Earth‐Based Transmitters Trigger Precipitation of Inner Radiation Belt Electrons: Unveiling Observations and Modeling Results [PDF]
AGU AdvancesHuman activity influence Earth's environment, including the space environment hundreds to thousands of kilometers above the Earth. One direct evidence is that the 19.8 kHz electromagnetic signals launched by the North West Cape (NWC) transmitter station ...

Discovery of a low-latitude ionospheric trough associated with the inner radiation belt [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The dynamics of ionospheric troughs that developed during a great geomagnetic storm on 11–13 April 2001 are studied using measurements of electron density obtained by the CHAMP satellite at an altitude of 410–465 km.

Transient distortions of the South Atlantic Anomaly radiation environments driven by electric fields [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsEnergetic electrons in Earth’s inner radiation belt pose significant hazards to spacecraft systems, with the strongest radiation in low-Earth orbit (LEO) mostly confined to the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) region.

Lightning-induced relativistic electron precipitation from the inner radiation belt [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe Earth’s radiation belts are maintained by a number of acceleration, loss and transport mechanisms, and the electron fluxes at any given time are highly variable.

Thermospheric Neutral Winds as the Cause of Drift Shell Distortion in Earth’s Inner Radiation Belt
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Recent analysis of energetic electron measurements from the Magnetic Electron Ion Spectrometer instruments onboard the Van Allen Probes showed a local time variation of the equatorial electron intensity in the Earth’s inner radiation belt. The local time

Dynamics of the inner electron radiation belt: A review
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2023 The Van Allen radiation belts are an extraordinary science discovery in the Earth magnetosphere and consist of two electron belts. The inner Van Allen belt contains electrons of 10s to 100s keV; the outer belt consists mainly of 0.1−10 MeV electrons ...

Long‐Term Monitoring of Energetic Protons at the Bottom of Earth’s Radiation Belt
Space Weather, 2021 The energetic particles in the Earth's radiation belt are known to fluctuate over various timescales. Although observations using satellites have been made for more than 50 years, there are few examples of continuous and long‐term observations at low ...

Permian Large Igneous Provinces and Their Paleoenvironmental Effects
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 417-434., 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.
