Abstract
This consolidated grant application seeks resources to support a programme of STFC-funded research into the physics of various plasma environments within our solar system. The programme is thus divided into four distinct projects, the aims of which are as follows:
Project 1 will exploit data from the Cluster, THEMIS and Geotail spacecraft to study asymmetric plasma flows in geospace, elucidate the timescales on which the asymmetries are introduced, and determine to what extent they can be predicted by upstream solar wind monitors.
Project 2 will use plasma and electromagnetic field measurements from the martian space plasma environment, combined with propagation models of the magnetised solar wind, to investigate variability that modulates solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere couple at Mars.
Project 3 will combine theory, data, and modelling to study Jupiter's high magnetic latitudes, which are instrumental in coupling the planetary atmosphere to its surrounding plasma environment and understanding planetary auroral emissions.
Project 4 will investigate the energetics of Saturn's aurora, using new Hubble Space Telescope observations to reveal magnetospheric dynamics and seasonal changes.

Planned Impact
The main beneficiaries of this research will be:
Space Weather stakeholders
As awareness of the societal and economic impact of space weather grows, so do the demands to develop operational forecast models to enable infrastructure operators to manage exposure to the space weather hazards and mitigate the risks of system failure. The outputs of the programme work (notably Project 1) will be crucial to current international efforts in understanding the motion of energy and mass in the magnetosphere. The applicants (and wider SPP group) have an excellent track record of engagement with space weather research, industry and high-level government stakeholders and will exploit established knowledge exchange routes to maximize the impact of our research outputs in these groups.
Schools students and the public
SPP researchers have a strong track-record of engaging with non-specialist audiences (the public, school audiences, the media and policy-makers). We shall exploit our existing networks and expertise to communicate the proposed research to wider audiences, with particular emphasis on engaging with school students and their teachers via close institutional links to the South Lakes Teaching School Alliance (SLTSA) which includes 8 secondary schools, one special school, one FE College and the University of Cumbria working in close partnership to achieve curriculum collaboration and school improvement. Previous RCUK Schools University Partnership Initiative (SUPI) funding has enabling Lancaster to work in partnership with the SLTSA, to provide the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of research from a research-intensive university - an ethos which is now embedded in the University. Applicants and researchers associated with this consolidated grant application will therefore benefit from (i) institutional efforts to create a structured and strategic mechanism for engagement; (ii) investment and support to provide dedicated training for early career researchers to become effective and inspirational communicators of research; (iii) support for direct, and regular engagement with secondary level students to enhance and enrich the school and postgraduate curriculum; (iv) opportunities to support teachers in their professional development and hence increase their confidence in using research findings to enhance their teaching. These institutional aims perfectly complement the project-specific outreach activities proposed in the case for support and we expect to benefit from institutional support and resources.

Title | Cassini INCA equatorial ENA projections |
Description | This dataset contains equatorial projections of all energetic neutral atom observations of Saturn's magnetosphere obtained by the Cassini spacecraft's Ion and Neutral Camera (INCA). These are accompanied by the Python code which was used to generate them, as well as some Python code useful for loading the projections along with metadata and geometric information for further scientific analyses. More details on usage of the data are provided in the accompanying technical report by Bader, Kinrade et al. (2021), accessible at https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JA028908. |
Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
Year Produced | 2021 |
Provided To Others? | Yes |
Impact | These projections are the result of a new algorithm (see accompanying technical paper by Bader, Kinrade et al., [2021, JGR Space Physics], https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JA028908) designed to re-bin and re-project the camera-like views from the spacecraft-based perspective into a common reference frame. This simplifies the large-scale analyses of this vast dataset, and the projections are both accessible and valuable for the investigation of magnetospheric and auroral physics at Saturn. The first science paper based on this dataset (see Kinrade, Bader et al. [2021, GRL], https://doi.org/10.1029/2020GL091595) presents the statistical morphology of Saturn's equatorial ENA emission. |
