Modelling the Exposure of Satellites in Medium Earth Orbit to Proton Belt Radiation
Geomagnetically trapped protons forming Earth's proton radiation belt pose a hazard to orbiting spacecraft. In particular, solar cells are prone to degradation caused by non-ionising collisions with protons in the energy ... -
Physiological and metabolic characteristics of polar diatoms: insights into cold adaptation and potential for biotechnology
The polar regions represent two of the most extreme environments on Earth, with sub-zero temperatures, sustained light in the summer and complete darkness in the winter. Marine diatoms are prevalent in the polar oceans, ... -
Liverwort-Fungal Associations: Novel Symbioses In Polar Regions?
(2020-05-16)Symbioses between plants and fungi are ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems, in which they play key roles in plant nutrient acquisition and the cycling of elements. The plant host provides carbon fixed in photosynthesis ... -
Investigating Volcanic and Glacial Processes Using Microseismicity
(2019-11-30)Volcanoes and glaciers can both pose a significant threat to life and property. Volcanoes can erupt suddenly, without warning, causing injury, death and damage to property. Glaciers generally present a hazard over longer ...
