C-SWIM: A Coupled Space Weather Impact Model for Satellite Fleet Vulnerability and Economic Loss Under a 1-in-100-Year Solar Energetic Particle Event
D. Bor, E. J. Oughton, R. S. Weigel +4
Modern economies depend critically on satellite infrastructure, yet the aggregate economic consequences of extreme solar energetic particle (SEP) events have not been rigorously as…
GIC--Related Observations During the May 2024 Geomagnetic Storm in the United States
L. A. Wilkerson, R. S. Weigel, D. Thomas +6
The May 2024 geomagnetic storm was one of the most severe in the past 20~years. Understanding how large geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) impact geomagnetically induced currents (GIC…
Major Space Weather Risks Identified via Coupled Physics-Engineering-Economic Modeling
Edward J. Oughton, Dennies K. Bor, Robert Weigel +5
Space weather poses an important but under-quantified threat to society. While severe geomagnetic storms are recognized as potential global catastrophes, their socio-economic impac…
A Reproducible Method for Mapping Electricity Transmission Infrastructure for Space Weather Risk Assessment
Dennies K. Bor, Edward J. Oughton, Evan A. Peters +4
Space weather risk assessment is constrained by the lack of available asset information needed to model geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in electricity transmission infrastr…
