Concurrent effects between geomagnetic storms and magnetospheric substorms
An accurate understanding of dissimilarities in geomagnetic variability between quiet and
disturbed periods has the potential to vastly improve space weather diagnosis. In this work …

A comparison of two causal methods in the context of climate analyses
Correlation does not necessarily imply causation, and this is why causal methods have been
developed to try to disentangle true causal links from spurious relationships. In our study, we …
