Collaboration with Dartmouth College that brings together researchers from the communities of applied mathematics, astrophysics, computational physics, fluid dynamics, fusion, and space physics to explore fundamental aspects of magnetic reconnection and turbulence
Space Science
UNH space research spans all of the space sciences, with studies ranging from the ionosphere to the Earth's magnetosphere, the local solar system, and out to the farthest reaches of the universe. Investigations of the Earth's environment in the solar system look at space as a laboratory for plasma physics. Theoretical models and and satellite investigations are used to study the solar-terrestrial radiation environment. High energy astrophysics investigations involve the sensing of energetic astrophysical objects with ground, balloon, and satellite detectors.
