Geomagnetically Induced Currents from the Sun to the Power Grid

An introduction to geomagnetic storms and the hazards they pose at the Earth’s surface 

Geomagnetic storms are a type of space weather event that can create Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) which, once they reach Earth’s surface, can interfere with power grids and transport infrastructure. Understanding the characteristics and impacts of GICs requires scientific insights from solar physics,...
