LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Sept. As part of the ongoing Canadian GeoSpace Monitoring (CGSM) Program, ten newly launched research projects will collect and process information that will allow scientists to investigate the mysteries behind the complex interactions between the highly energised particles that flow from the Sun (known as the "solar wind") and the Earth's protective shield, the magnetosphere. These new projects will build on existing space physics monitoring programs and infrastructure to create a broad national space weather research network of ground-based instruments. These instruments will observe our planet and the area known as the "geospace" above Canada, where the effects of severe space weather are the most damaging. A large and diversified science team will collect and analyze this data. The science team includes more than 80 scientists led by principal investigators from the universities of Alberta, Calgary, Saskatchewan, Waterloo and New Brunswick. Est...
