Is the Apparent Correlation between Solar-Geomagnetic Activity and Occurrence of Powerful Earthquakes a Casual Artifact?

Atmosphere, 2022
So far, many efforts have been made to provide a reliable and robust mechanism for the occurrence of large earthquakes. In recent years, different studies have been conducted on the possible correlation between solar-terrestrial interactions and the ...

Interactions of Asian mineral dust with Indian summer monsoon: Recent advances and challenges

Earth-Science Reviews, 2021
The Indian summer monsoon (ISM) is one of the world’s strongest monsoon systems that brings about eighty percent of the annual rainfall to the Indian subcontinent and impacts the livelihood of more than a quarter of the world’s population.

The role of excited states in Solar-Terrestrial Interactions: MOLESs consortium [PDF]

Book of Abstracts and Contributed Papers / International scientific conference Meeting on Operational and Research Capabilities for Better Understanding Solar-Terrestrial Interactions, September 29 - October 3, 2025, Belgrade, Serbia; edited by Vladimir A. Srećković et al.
Particles from the solar wind interact with molecules from the Earth’s atmosphere creating ionized species (Marinković et al. 2025) and species with excited states. These states are responsible for Auroral formation, atmospheric chemistry and chemical species production or ozone depletion.

Focus on high energy particles and atmospheric processes

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
The letters published in the ‘Focus issue on high energy particles and atmospheric processes’ serve to broaden the discussion about the influence of high energy particles on the atmosphere beyond their possible effects on clouds and climate.

Comment on “Non-interacting coronal mass ejections and solar energetic particles near the quadrature configuration of solar terrestrial relations observatory”: CME shocks are fast magnetosonic shocks and not intermediate Alfvén shocks

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021
Aims.The expression for the shock Mach number used by Ravishankar and Michalek (2020, A&A, 638, A42) is incorrect. We wish to provide a correct expression so they can redo their analyses.Methods.Coronal mass ejection (CME) shocks are fast magnetosonic shocks and not intermediate Alfvén shocks.

Probing the high latitude ionosphere from ground-based observations: The state of current knowledge and capabilities during IPY (2007-2009) [PDF]

, 2008
During the International Polar Year (IPY), one area of great interest is co-coordinated, multi-instrument probing of the ionosphere at high latitudes. This region is important not only for the applications that rely upon our understanding of it, but also

Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

Solar sail mission applications and future advancement [PDF]

, 2010
Solar sailing has long been envisaged as an enabling technology. The promise of open-ended missions allows consideration of radically new trajectories and the delivery of spacecraft to previously unreachable or unsustainable observation outposts.

Covalent Functionalization of 2D Semiconductors: A Roadmap to Advanced Electronic Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This Review presents recent advances in the covalent functionalization strategies for two‐dimensional semiconductors and their implementation in modern technologies. Layered materials are modified through diverse molecular chemistries (e.g., thiols, diazonium salts, alkyl halides, and electron‐deficient species) to tailor their surface properties ...
