Why We Need to Keep Funding Space-Weather Research!
Session ID#: 252481
Session Description:
Space weather (SW) describes the dynamic conditions in the space environment between Sun and Earth that influence the performance/reliability of technologies in orbit and on the ground. Understanding, and accurate-prediction, of solar activity and its effects on the Earth's environment are crucial for protecting critical infrastructures. Severe SW events can cause significant economic and societal disruptions through damage to power grids, satellites, communication systems, etc... Ongoing research efforts advance our ability to monitor and forecast SW, providing lead times for implementing protective measures. Given our dependence on space-based and terrestrial technologies, continued investment in SW research and fostering collaboration among scientists/engineers/industry-stakeholders/governments are paramount. In this eleventh edition, we envisage a panel, and also welcome submissions around these efforts to ensure sustained SW research funding that is essential to enhance our resilience to SW threats, ensuring the reliable operation of technologies that are integral to our society and the global economy.
