Core Disciplines
Foundational Scientific Pillars
PILLAR 01
Atmospheric Convective Physics
Non-hydrostatic thermodynamics, boundary layer moisture convergence, vorticity generation, and charge separation mechanisms in British storm complexes.
PILLAR 02
Solar Magnetohydrodynamics
Active region magnetic shear, flux rope destabilisation, CME acceleration dynamics, and solar proton event (SPE) spectrum modelling.
