Discovery of the Earth's Van Allen radiation belts by instruments flown on Explorer 1 in 1958
was the first major discovery of the Space Age. The observation of distinct inner and outer …

The past decade transformed our observational understanding of energetic particle
processes in near‐Earth space. An unprecedented suite of observational systems was in …

The flux of energetic electrons in the Earth's outer radiation belt can vary by several orders of
magnitude over time scales less than a day, in response to changes in properties of the …

This paper focuses on the modeling of local acceleration and loss processes in the outer
radiation belt. We begin by reviewing the statistical properties of waves that violate the first …

Local acceleration driven by whistler‐mode chorus waves is fundamentally important for
accelerating seed electron populations to highly relativistic energies in the outer radiation …

Gyroresonant wave particle interactions with whistler mode chorus play a fundamental role
in the dynamics of the Earth's radiation belts and inner magnetosphere, affecting both the …

Plasmaspheric hiss is known to play an important role in controlling the overall structure and
dynamics of radiation belt electrons inside the plasmasphere. Using newly available Van …

The flux of relativistic electrons in the Earth's radiation belts is highly variable and can
change by orders of magnitude on timescales of a few hours. Understanding the drivers for …

We perform a comprehensive analysis to evaluate hiss‐induced scattering effect on the pitch
angle evolution and associated decay processes of relativistic electrons. The results show …

A systems science examination of the Earth's fully interconnected dynamic magnetosphere
is presented. Here the magnetospheric system (aka the magnetosphere–ionosphere …
