Space Weather and its Impacts on Our Modern World

Similar to terrestrial weather, "Space Weather" causes a wide variety of issues that affect our daily lives. From the disruption of satellite GPS signals to the beautiful light displays of the aurora, this talk gives an overview of Space Weather and the multi-faceted impact it has on life on Earth. We discuss the many ways these phenomena affect Earth, including the services and people impacted by various types of "solar storms." We also demonstrate how space science, meteorology, and public use of Space Weather information intersects in our modern world.
