The Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Research Laboratory (MIRL) at the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space (EOS), University of New Hampshire contributes to a variety of research projects in space physics. The lab primarily focuses on the development of instrumentation for ground-based, rocket-based, and satellite observations of space physics phenomena and analysis of the resulting observations.
The current research projects are:
- Ground-based observations from ultra low frequency (ULF) and extremely low frequency (ELF) search-coil magnetometers for the study of magnetosphere-ionopshere coupling and its relationship with auroral phenomena.
- Rocket-borne observations from low light imager, UV PMT, particle detector for in-situ auroral measurements.
- Data analysis from a variety of satellite data

November 10, 2011 -- Drummond Biles has been awarded a grant through the UNH International Research Opportunities Program (IROP) for his project entitled "Development of an Optical Calibration Facility at an Auroral Research Station", which he will undertake in Svalbard during the summer of 2012. IROP grants are competitive awards that allow undergraduate students to pursue research in an international setting.
