8 / 100 IPPRA team judgment

This is a space physics/geospace modeling program centered on magnetosphere–solar wind dynamics, which is far outside IPPRA’s social-behavioral, risk perception, warning communication, education policy, and energy/public opinion lines. The team might have at most a tangential interest in climate/weather terminology, but there is no plausible PI-level fit here.

Description

Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) is a broad-based research program investigating the physics of the Earth's magnetosphere and the coupling of the magnetosphere to the atmosphere and to the solar wind. The goal of the GEM program is to make accurate predictions of the geospace environment by developing physical understanding of the large-scale organization and dynamics through observations, theory, and increasingly realistic models.
