Scientific paper

Bruce Tsurutani is a senior research scientist at the NASA/California Institute of Technology's (Caltech) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Tsurutani has spent much of his research career, which spans more than 40 years, on understanding the Sun-Earth connection and interplanetary physics. In 2009 he was awarded AGU's John Adam Fleming Medal, given for “original research and technical leadership in geomagnetism, atmospheric electricity, aeronomy, space physics, and related sciences.” In this interview, Tsurutani describes how he approaches scientific problems. He also discusses specific results from one of his most groundbreaking papers, which investigated a large solar flare and geomagnetic disturbance in 1859. Dubbed the Carrington event for the British solar astronomer who documented the flare, the 1859 storm is now known—thanks to Tsurutani's research—to have been the most energetic geomagnetic storm to have collided with the Earth in recorded history.
