About the Book

Powerful solar explosions, such as flares and coronal mass ejections, greatly disturb the electromagnetic environment around the Earth and the atmosphere. They may even impact various social systems—communications, positioning, electric power supply, aviation and activities in space. Such variations in the space environment, which can influence human activities, are called “space weather.” The space weather disaster caused by a solar explosion is a potential risk in modern society. To reduce and mitigate space weather impacts, it is essential to understand the structure and dynamics of the solar–terrestrial environment and to predict the variations.  This book comprehensively describes space weather, from the basics of related sciences to the possible social impacts. It was compiled based on a national research project on solar–terrestrial environment prediction conducted in Japan recently. It consists of four parts: the linkage between space weather and society; the magnetosphere of the Earth and space weather prediction; solar storms and space weather prediction; and long-term prediction of solar cycle activity and climate impacts.  Each chapter covers the basics and applications of each area, which helps readers gain a broad understanding of the subject matter throughout the book. In addition, readers are able to select and read the topics they are most interested in. It is especially valuable for undergraduate and graduate students and young researchers studying space weather and related topics, and is further helpful for experts in various industries related to space weather disasters.  The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). The present version has been revised technically and linguistically by the authors in collaboration with a professional translator.

About the Author :
Kanya Kusano is a professor at the Institute for Space–Earth Environmental Research (ISEE), Nagoya University. His work is concerned with space plasma, solar flares and space weather. He received his Doctor of Science from Hiroshima University in 1987. He was an assistant professor and associate professor at Hiroshima University and a group leader and program director at the Japan Agency for Marine–Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC). In 2009, he moved to Nagoya University as a professor at the Solar–Terrestrial Environment Laboratory (STEL) and has served in his current position since 2015. He has also been the director of ISEE since 2017. He was the leader of the Project for Solar–Terrestrial Environment Prediction (PSTEP) from 2015 to 2019. He received the Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in Japan for Research on Precise Prediction and Onset Mechanism of Giant Solar Flares in 2022. He was alsoawarded the 13th Nishinomiya Yukawa Memorial Prize in 1998 regarding the Study for Solar Flare Onset Mechanism Based on the Magnetohydrodynamic Minimum Energy Principle.
