The July 2015 issue of Earth Magazine(external link) features recent work led by VT SuperDARN PhD candidate Nathaniel Frissell about the possibility of using Amateur Radio Networks for conducting space science and space weather research. This work is made possible through automated networks such as the Reverse Beacon Network(external link) and allows for a unique opportunity for citizen-science collaborations. The Earth Magazine article focuses on a study which shows how a solar flare can impact HF communications(external link), a topic which is now under continued investigation by the VT SuperDARN laboratory.
