About this ebook
Magnet Storms explores the increasingly relevant threat of solar storms and their potential to disrupt modern technology. It examines the science behind these events, such as coronal mass ejections, and how they interact with Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. These interactions can induce geomagnetic disturbances, potentially crippling power grids, communication systems, and satellite networks, highlighting our vulnerability due to reliance on technology.
The book takes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating astrophysics, geophysics, and engineering to explore this complex issue. It analyzes historical events like the Carrington Event to illustrate the disruptive potential of severe solar storms.
Beginning with the Sun's activity cycle, the book progresses through the science of CMEs and flares, their interaction with Earth, and the impacts on critical infrastructure, culminating in a discussion of mitigation strategies. This approach offers a holistic view of the challenge posed by solar storms.
