Abstract: The dynamics inside planetary magnetospheres are driven, in most cases by coupling between a planetary environment and a stellar wind. At Earth, solar wind-magnetosphere coupling fuels space weather impacting our human connection to space. This talk reviews some outstanding problems in space weather research and prediction and presents opportunities to move forward through X-Ray Imaging of Earth's magnetosphere. 

Bio: Dr. Walsh is an associate professor and researcher in space physics at Boston University. His research focuses on the transfer of energy from the sun and Earth's space environment. As an experimentalist he develops X-ray instrumentation and imaging systems to study Earth's space environment. 

Diverse teams of innovators from Arizona, Tennessee, and Florida, who have completed the inaugural Space-Edge Accelerator program, will present their biomedical solutions advancing the new space economy.

This 3-hour virtual event is for experts, investors, channel partners and customers to explore new developments and build valuable connections for the space market.
