Aurorasaurus Q&A About Aurora Education With Dr. Doğacan Su Öztürk

Dr. Doğacan Su Öztürk is a Research Assistant Professor at the Geophysical Institute at University of Alaska, Fairbanks. She studies magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling, interhemispheric asymmetry, meso-scale variability of the near-Earth environment, application of machine learning to Heliophysics data, and citizen science. She has applied her knowledge to homeschool resources for Alaskan students, including the program she discusses in her presentation. Aurorasaurus is an award-winning citizen science project that uses crowdsourced and citizen science data to create the first real-time, global aurora map. The project has made a number of discoveries, including that social media is effective for detecting large natural events; that crowdsourcing the verification of citizen science data works; and that space weather alerts are more accurate when integrated with citizen science data. The Aurorasaurus team in collaboration with citizen scientists and the scientific community published the first scientific study of STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement), an aurora-like phenomenon that appears closer to the equator and flows from east to west. In addition to discoveries, Aurorasaurus conducts outreach and education across the globe, often through partnerships with local groups of enthusiasts.
