Research Areas
Our research areas, though organized through the distinct themes of "space physics" and "atmospheric physics," are linked through common projects, such as "Solar Wind-Ionosphere Interaction and Neutral Atmosphere Investigation at Venus" in support of the Venus Express mission.
Space Physics
The space physics topics are linked together into themes cutting through boundaries:
- Fundamental Plasma Processes
- Energy Flow in the Solar System
- Solar Influence on Planetary Bodies
