Above our atmosphere is a swirling sea of high-energy particles: the Van Allen radiation belts. Trapped by Earths magnetic field, these particles are usually confined to near-Earth space, but events sometimes force them down into our atmosphere. They episodically rain down in two bands centered on the magnetic poles; most of Canada lies under the northern band. This release of particles into the atmosphere affects the space environment, the satellites travelling through it and Earths atmosphere. My research involves using satellite and ground-based systems to explore and understand the space environment, the radiation belts and their loss into the atmosphere.

在我们的大气层上方是一个高能粒子的漩涡海洋：货车艾伦辐射带。这些粒子被地球磁场捕获，通常被限制在近地空间，但有时会迫使它们进入我们的大气层。它们以磁极为中心的两个波段间歇性地下雨;加拿大大部分地区位于北方波段之下。这种粒子释放到大气层中会影响空间环境，卫星通过它和地球大气层。我的研究涉及使用卫星和地面系统来探索和了解空间环境，辐射带及其在大气中的损失。
