... with the Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling, where researchers studied the weather patterns that originate from a solar eruption, following the energy and mass transfer through the interplanetary medium, all the way to Earth's ionosphere. Current areas of investigation include the evolution of the radiation belts; how the ionized particle outflow known as the solar wind and the magnetic field of the Sun interact with the magnetic field of Earth, producing electrical currents in the ionosphere; and the effects of solar cosmic rays on radio communications near Earth's poles.

... Work is currently focusing on understanding the particular user requirements of the sectors vulnerable to space weather and understanding how you communicate effectively with the public on such a high impact/low probability event. In his role as head of Space Weather he is also a member of the UK's Space Environment Impacts Expert Group; the UK representative on the International Space Environment Services organization; a member of the UN COPUOS, Science & Technology Sub-Committee, Expert Group on Space Weather; and an advisor of the International Civil Aviation Organization Met Panel Working Group on Meteorological Information and Service Development, Space Weather Sub-group.

... Other recent relevant experience includes JHU's Global Water Institute and the JHU Earth Environment Sustainability and Health Institute as well as the NASA Heliophysics Roadmap Committee; NSF Aeronomy Review Panel and NSF Aeronomy Committee of Visitors; chair of IAA Commission 4 and Small Satellite Program Committee. He earned his Ph.D.

... Hartman worked on Capitol Hill for House Science and Technology Committee Chairman Don Fuqua, as a senior engineer building spacecraft at NASA Goddard, and as a senior policy analyst at the White House. She has served as Planetary Division Director, Deputy Associate Administrator and Acting Associate Administrator at NASA's Science Mission Directorate, as Deputy Assistant Administrator at NOAA, and as Deputy Center Director and Director of Science and Exploration at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
From page 110...
... He has directed studies resulting in some 38 reports, notably inaugural NRC "decadal surveys" in solar and space physics (2002) and Earth science and applications from space (2007)
