The SPEARS group focuses on “space weather”, radio wave
propagation and fundamental wave-plasma interactions research.
This is achieved through satellite and ground-based observations of
the polar upper-atmosphere and near-Earth space environment.
The group operates and builds its own innovative night-vision
multi-wavelength optical imagers as well as radio wave imaging
