Constraining the Location of the Outer Boundary of Earth's Outer Radiation Belt
Earth and Space Science, 2021 Characterizing the location of the outer boundary of the outer radiation belt is a key aspect of improving radiation belt models and helps to constrain our understanding of the mechanisms by which the source and seed electron populations are transported ...

Survey of ELF-VLF plasma waves in outer radiation belt observed by Cluster STAFF-SA experiment [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 Various types of plasma waves have profound effects on acceleration and scattering of radiation belt particles. For the purposes of radiation belt modeling it is necessary to know statistical distributions of plasma wave parameters.

Near-Earth injection of MeV electrons associated with intense dipolarization electric fields: Van Allen Probes observations. [PDF]
, 2015 Substorms generally inject tens to hundreds of keV electrons, but intense substorm electric fields have been shown to inject MeV electrons as well. An intriguing question is whether such MeVelectron injections can populate the outer radiation belt.

Electron loss rates from the outer radiation belt caused by the filling of the outer plasmasphere: The calm before the storm [PDF]
, 2009 Measurements from seven spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit are analyzed to determine the decay rate of the number density of the outer electron radiation belt prior to the onset of high-speed-stream-driven geomagnetic storms.

Discovery of a transient radiation belt at Saturn [PDF]
, 2008 Radiation belts have been detected in situ at five planets. Only at Earth however has any variability in their intensity been heretofore observed, in indirect response to solar eruptions and high altitude nuclear explosions. The Cassini spacecraft's MIMI/

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 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.

Physical strain while wearing personal radiation protection systems in interventional radiology.
PLoS ONE, 2022 ObjectivesMultiple studies show orthopedic health problems for medical staff due to wearing radiation protection aprons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the weight pressure on the shoulder as a marker of physical strain caused by different ...
