Building Global Capacity with BC/ISR Science

This fall, ISR scientists gave lectures and invited talks at short schools and workshops in India and Kenya.  K. Groves and R. Pradipta went to the Eastern Africa Capacity Building Workshop on Space Weather and Low-latitude Ionosphere at the Malindi Space Center, Kenya, in early October. K. Groves, who was also one of the Workshop Directors, lectured on ionospheric irregularities and their characteristics. R. Pradipta gave hands-on demonstrations of measurements using low-cost receivers developed at ISR. Pradipta was also an invited speaker at the 3rd International Workshop on Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPB-3) at the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG) in Navi Mumbai, India in September. He discussed the hazards of equatorial plasma bubbles and improving public awareness of them.
