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 …

To improve our understanding of the role of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in
radiation belt electron dynamics, we perform a comprehensive analysis of EMIC wave …

In this paper we review recent spacecraft observations of oblique whistler-mode waves in
the Earth's inner magnetosphere as well as the various consequences of the presence of …

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

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 …

Early observations, indicated that the Earth's Van Allen radiation belts could be separated
into an inner zone dominated by high-energy protons and an outer zone dominated by high …

Chorus waves are among the most important natural electromagnetic emissions in the
magnetosphere as regards to their potential effects on electron dynamics. They can …

We compute quasilinear diffusion rates due to pitch angle scattering by various mechanisms
in the Earth's electron radiation belts. The calculated theoretical lifetimes are compared with …

To achieve a better understanding of the dominant loss mechanisms for the rapid dropouts
of radiation belt electrons, three distinct radiation belt dropout events observed by Van Allen …
