Laboratory) gave the introductory talk at the meeting, weaving together some vexed issues around policy response to high-impact low-probability (HILP) events. Although there have been a handful of large storms since the Carrington event, the lack of long-term global measurements of the magnetic field has made it difficult to place this storm in context. Was it just a larger version of storms recorded in the digital age, or a rare class of superstorm in which different processes operate? Though there are measurements from a few locations during the Carrington storm, such as at Greenwich magnetic observatory and Alibag (near Mumbai) in India, there remain large uncertainties as to the absolute size of the storm and its dynamic structure. Severe space weather is considered a 1-in-100-year risk on the UK government’s Risk Register, with its impact estimated to be below or on par with heavy snowstorms. Hapgood also pointed out that although some risks are diminishing as improved technology supersedes the old, new and potentially greater ones may be created; he cited the navigation of self-driving cars and lorries as potentially at risk, though this will depend on how connected they need to be (eg via mobile networks) and how heavily they rely on GNSS for navigation. In some instances, known vulnerabilities can be engineered out, but in complex systems it is difficult to detect weak points until they become exposed to extreme environmental factors.
