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.

Space Weather, 2023 It is believed that galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles are the two major sources of ionizing radiation. However, the radiation source may also be due to relativistic electrons that are associated with precipitation from the Van Allen ...

Specifying High Altitude Electrons Using Low‐Altitude LEO Systems: Updates to the SHELLS Model
Space Weather, 2023 We describe a new version of the SHELLS model, which specifies the outer electron belt environment as observed by the Van Allen Probes using the Kp Index and data from Polar‐orbiting Operational Environmental Satellites and the Meteorological Operational

Earth's Van Allen Radiation Belts: From Discovery to the Van Allen Probes Era [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2019 AbstractDiscovery of the Earth's Van Allen radiation belts by instruments flown on Explorer 1 in 1958 was the first major discovery of the Space Age. The observation of distinct inner and outer zones of trapped megaelectron volt (MeV) particles, primarily protons at low altitude and electrons at high altitude, led to early models for source and loss ...

A data assimilation-based forecast model of outer radiation belt electron fluxes
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2023 Because radiation belt electrons can pose a potential threat to the safety of satellites orbiting in space, it is of great importance to develop a reliable model that can predict the highly dynamic variations in outer radiation belt electron fluxes.

Modeling inward diffusion and slow decay of energetic electrons in the Earth\u27s outer radiation belt [PDF]
, 2015 A new 3-D diffusion code is used to investigate the inward intrusion and slow decay of energetic radiation belt electrons (\u3e0.5 MeV) observed by the Van Allen Probes during a 10 day quiet period on March 2013.

Outer Van Allen Radiation Belt Response to Interacting Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2019 We study the response of the outer Van Allen radiation belt during an intense magnetic storm on 15–22 February 2014. Four interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) arrived at Earth, of which the three last ones were interacting.
