Geospace Storms

Transforming the Understanding and Predictability of Space Weather

Innovate

space weather modeling

We innovate community space weather modeling capabilities by developing a mesoscale-resolving, data-augmented, seamlessly coupled Multiscale Atmosphere-Geospace Environment (MAGE) model

Empower

the scientific, academic, operational and broader public communities

We empower these communities by supporting NASA missions and facilitating a vibrant MAGE-enabled research program beyond CGS; laying the groundwork for transitioning MAGE to operations; training a new cohort of interdisciplinary geospace scientists; and engaging diverse audiences and expanding public awareness of space weather.

Discover

together how stormtime geospace responds to solar disturbances

We discover how different parts of geospace work collectively during storm time to shape its responses to solar disturbances

CGS is supported by NASA under Cooperative Agreement 80NSSC22M0163.

MAGE is now available at the NASA/CCMC!

Thanks to the dedicated work by the MAGE development team, the model is now available for runs-on-request at the NASA Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC). This marks a significant first milestone for the entire CGS team! We are looking forward to working with the scientific community, students and the broader public!

Space weather is chaotic and hard to predict. This new model could change that

The vast spatio-temporal scales spanned in geospace modeling require a level of science second to none. Slava Merkin, Director of the NASA DRIVE Science Center for Geospace Storms (CGS), and his team are revolutionizing our understanding of, and response to, Earth-Sun interactions.
