Lake and sea ice and their snow covers are major components of Earthâs cryosphere and act to strongly modify climatic and biological systems. Both ice types serve as an important habitat for micro-fauna and support macro-fauna and strongly modify the exchange of energy, gases, and momentum...

Tikhonchuk, V. T., Voronkov, I., Samson, J. C., Rankin, Robert
A model is presented that describes the excitation of density perturbations and parallel electric fields by standing shear Alfven waves on dipole fields in Earth's magnetosphere. The model includes the effects of electron inertia and gyro-kinetic dispersion, accounting for field-aligned...

Langmuir amplitude modulations and harmonic waves, generated by solar wind electron beams, are commonly observed in type III solar radio bursts. Various mechanisms have been proposed for the origin of these waves, but there is still ongoing debate on how the observation of continuous type III...

An experimental investigation of the mean scalar concentration field of jets into a uniform counterflow stream using planar laser induced fluorescence is presented. The centerline decay and radial spreading of the mean concentration field of the jet were investigated. Jet to counterflow velocity...

Deformation and evolution of solar wind discontinuities through their interactions with the Earth's bow shock
Download2009
Kabin, Konstantin, Keika, Kunihiro, Rankin, Robert, Carr, C. M., Carlson, C. W., Glassmeier, Karl-Heinz, Magnes, Werner, Lucek, Elizabeth, McFadden, J. P., Dandouras, Iannis, Auster, H. U., Sibeck, D. G., Fornacon, K.-H., Angelopoulos, Vassilis, Baumjohann, W., Nakamura, Rumi
The present study examines the interaction of solar wind discontinuities with the Earth's bow shock, using multipoint observations in the magnetosheath by Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions During Substorms (THEMIS), Cluster, and Double Star TC1. We focus on the deformation and...

Development of High Power Yb:YAG Laser for Amplifying Orbital Angular Momentum Modes and Pumping Optical Parametric Chirped Pulse Amplifiers
DownloadFall 2018
The applications of ultra-high power laser systems are generating growing interest in a wide variety of scientific fields. They can be used to simulate astrophysical processes and accelerate electrons and protons to MeV energies and generate KeV to MeV x-rays. Such sources can be used for taking...

Development of Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Methods for the Identification and Quantification of Acylcarnitines in Biological Samples
DownloadFall 2012
The field of metabolomics follows the Greek premise where metabolic changes are believed to be indicative of disease. Acylcarnitines, for example, can be dysregulated in the presence of various diseases including genetic metabolic disorders and multiple sclerosis. Liquid chromatography mass...

On 23 November 2012, a sudden dropout of the relativistic electron flux was observed after an interplanetary shock arrival. The dropout peaks at ∼1 MeV and more than 80% of the electrons disappeared from the drift shell. Van Allen twin Probes observed a sharp electron flux dropout with clear...

High Harmonic Generation (HHG) is a convenient method of producing coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation and is typically produced by focusing a laser onto a gas jet. The total intensity of XUV generated in this method is limited by the ionization threshold of the gas and absorption of XUV...
