MSHS Students Partner with NASA and University of Michigan for Groundbreaking Solar Research Project

FM Studio A

Marquette, MI - Earth and Space Science students at Marquette Senior High School have been working on a research project in partnership with The University of Michigan and NASA.

The MSHS SunRISE Ground RadioLab (GRL), is an antenna that measures electromagnetic radiation. The collected data will be shared with the University of Michigan and correlated with data collected by NASA.

The project is designed to help answer questions like how solar radio emissions influence space weather and terrestrial phenomena, such as geomagnetic storms and ionospheric disturbances.

Hans Ahlström is the host of several programs, including the daily musical variety show Weekday, the mostly straight ahead jazz show Night Studio, the self-explanatory Blues Today, and the eclectic Sound Spectrum. You can also hear Hans as the local host of NPR's All Things Considered news magazine. He also helps manage Public Radio 90's web content, interviews local and visiting writers and artists, works with NMU student interns, and writes the occasional news story.
