John T. GoslingResearcher

Dr. John (Jack) T. Gosling is a Senior Research Associate at the University of Colorado’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. He is also a retired Laboratory Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He received his PhD in physics from the University of California Berkeley in 1965. His research has focused on the large-scale structure and magnetic topology of the solar wind, coronal mass ejections, solar wind and geomagnetic disturbances, magnetic reconnection, collisionless shocks, and particle acceleration in space. He has worked extensively with plasma and magnetic field data from Vela 2 and 3, IMP 6, 7, and 8, ISEE 1, 2, and 3, Helios, Ulysses, Wind, the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), and STEREO and with coronagraph data from Skylab. He was the Principal Investigator for data analysis for plasma experiments on IMP 6, 7, and 8 and ISEE 1, 2, and 3. He is currently actively involved in analyzing and interpreting solar wind data from ACE, Wind, and STEREO
