About the study
Northern lights are the result of the solar wind's interaction with Earth's upper atmosphere and magnetic fields and is part of space weather. Our global society relies on advanced technology vulnerable to space weather disturbances, which can shut down electric power-grids, disrupt satellite communication, and cause GPS positioning errors. This Master's program gives you a broad education in Space and Plasma Physics and teaches how to observe the physical processes in the ionosphere associated with space weather with the EISCAT radars and other research facilities near Tromsø, as well as how to replicate and study them in the Aurolab Plasma Laboratory.
Space Physics is a discipline of the Master's degree programme in physics.
