Biography

Professor Richard Horne FRS is Head of Space Weather at the British Antarctic Survey and Honorary Professor at the University of Sheffield. He has published over 200 research papers on wave-particle interactions, wave propagation and space weather. His most important work was to show that plasma waves accelerate electrons up to speeds close to the speed of light and play a major role in forming the radiation belts that surround the Earth in space. He led the EU SPACECAST project to develop a space weather forecasting system for satellites, and the EU SPACESTORM project which showed that the risk to satellites from space weather is much higher than previously thought. Richard’s work led to revised hazard assessments for the UK National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies in 2017 and 2020. He is Chair of the Space Environment Impacts Expert Group which provides advice on space weather to the UK Cabinet Office.

Richard was awarded the NERC Economic Impact Award in 2023, Gold Medal from the Royal Astronomical Society in 2022, the International Kristian Birkeland Medal for Space Weather and Space Climate in 2020, the URSI Appleton Prize for research leading to practical space weather forecasting in 2020, and a Doctor of Science from the University of Cambridge for distinguished research in 2020.

Richard was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 2021. He is also a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, the International Union of Radio Science, The Royal Astronomical Society and St Edmund’s College Cambridge.

Research interests

My main research interests are in wave-particle interactions, wave propagation and space weather. I study how wave-particle interactions lead to the transport, acceleration and loss of high energy charged particles trapped in the external magnetic field of the Earth and planets. My current work is to lead the development of better systems to forecast radiation exposure to satellites during magnetic storms and other space weather events. I am also working on hazard risk assessments of the impact of severe space weather on the growing number of satellites in orbit.
