Research Focus: Space Physics
Ildiko Horvath’s research primarily focuses on Space Physics, with a particular emphasis on ionospheric and magnetospheric phenomena. Her work investigates various aspects such as:
- Subauroral Ion Drifts (SAID): Studying the development and characteristics of ion drifts in the subauroral regions during different geomagnetic conditions.
- Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling: Exploring the interactions and dynamics between the Earth’s magnetosphere and ionosphere, particularly during geomagnetic storms and disturbances.
- Plasma Density Variations: Investigating the spatial and temporal variations in plasma density in different regions of the ionosphere and their implications for space weather.
- Geomagnetic Storms and Superstorms: Analyzing the effects of severe space weather events on the Earth’s ionosphere, including plasma enhancements and disturbances.
Her research contributions provide insights into the complex interplay between solar wind, magnetic fields, and atmospheric dynamics, advancing our understanding of space weather and its impacts on Earth’s space environment.
