This year\, we will be experiencing the most active sun in twenty years\, which means more chances of seeing gorgeous auroral displays. In this presentation\, you will learn everything you need to become an aurora chaser\, the exciting science at the University of Alaska Fairbanks uncovering the mysteries of the northern lights\, and how you can join us. \n\n \n\nBio: Vincent Ledvina is a Space Physics Ph.D. student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks\, but you may also know him as "The Aurora Guy." Aside from researching what causes elusive "auroral beads\," Vincent is passionate about sharing his love for the northern lights with others. Part of this work involves leveraging citizen science data from aurora chasers who can provide valuable insights into how particularly rare auroras are created. Vincent also runs aurora photography workshops in Fairbanks and is a professional photographer. Outside of Alaska\, Vincent is spending his second summer with the Aerospace Corporation's Space Sciences Applications Lab in El Segundo\, CA as an intern. At Aerospace\, Vincent is focusing on his thesis work as well as investigating the effects of aurora on the electronics of low-flying spacecraft. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
