Our laboratories
Two research labs dedicated to observation, instrumentation, and prediction in heliophysics and space weather.
Space Instrumentation Lab
Ground-based magnetometer networks, field campaigns, and real-time geomagnetic data acquisition.
- SAMBA magnetometer network (meridional chain from Arica to Magallanes, Chile)
- Magnetometer deployment and calibration in field campaigns
- Antarctic base campaigns (Chilean Scientific Antarctic Expedition 47, 2011)
- Comparative magnetometer performance analysis (Universidad Adventista de Chile, 2025)
- Real-time data acquisition and processing
- Collaboration with MACCS, THEMIS GBO, and CARISMA networks
Space Weather Lab
Real-time space weather monitoring, machine learning-based prediction, and satellite data analysis.
- National Space Weather Platform (FONDEF IDEA I+D 2025)
- Real-time solar wind data monitoring (OMNI)
- Deep learning models (RNN, CNN, LSTM) for magnetic perturbations and GIC prediction
- Relativistic electron flux prediction in the radiation belts
- Plasmapause location with machine learning
- Satellite data processing: Van Allen Probes, THEMIS, GOES, MMS
