Geomagnetic storms have the potential to severely impair critical technology infrastructure. Consequences of strong geomagnetic activity can include power failures, pipeline corrosion, satellite failures, inaccurate GPS positioning and radio navigation. Knowledge of how, where and under which conditions this activity occurs is therefore crucial. The primary aim of this project is to extend our knowledge of the mechanisms by which this activity occurs. This work will consolidate Australia's international space profile and provide excellent training in this field, helping Australia's future technology development.

地磁风暴有可能严重损害关键技术基础设施。强烈地磁活动的后果可能包括停电、管道腐蚀、卫星故障、不准确的GPS定位和无线电导航。因此，了解这一活动如何、在哪里以及在什么条件下发生是至关重要的。这个项目的主要目的是扩大我们对这一活动发生机制的了解。这项工作将巩固澳大利亚的国际空间形象，并在该领域提供出色的培训，帮助澳大利亚未来的技术发展。
