Description
Extreme Space Weather not only allows readers to learn the basics of complex space weather phenomena and future directions for research in space physics and extreme space events. The book begins with a brief overview of space weather, including sunspot cycles, solar winds and geomagnetic fields. From there, the book moves on to extreme space weather phenomena, including mass coronal ejections, solar flares and magnetic storms. The book also includes a discussion of both observed and theoretical extreme events. This book is ideal for students and researchers in geophysics and space physics departments, as well as those in hazard and disaster preparedness.
- Focuses on extreme space weather and its impacts on Earth, the Moon and Mars
- Includes hazard maps showing data and impacts on Earth from extreme space weather events
- Presents research on both observed and theoretical extreme events
