This book provides an in-depth review of all aspects of space weather. Written by world-leading experts, these sixteen review papers cover everything from space weather's origin on the Sun and its propagation in interplanetary space to its impact on the Earth and other solar system bodies. The history of space weather and even events with anthropogenic origin are also covered. Thus, the volume serves as both a comprehensive reference for researchers and a starting point for graduate students.

Daniel N. Baker directs the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, University of Colorado, where he is the Distinguished Professor of Planetary and Space Physics and Professor of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences and Professor of Physics. He was Group Leader for Space Plasma Physics at Los Alamos National Laboratory (1980-87) and was Division Chief at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (1987-1994). Currently, he is lead investigator on several NASA space missions, including the NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission and the NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (Van Allen Probes) mission. He presently holds the Moog-Broad Reach Endowed Chair of Space Sciences at CU. He has edited eight books and published over 750 papers in the refereed literature. He has been recognized internationally for his interdisciplinary leadership in space and Earth sciences, as well as for outstanding research, service, and teaching.

André Balogh is Emeritus Professor of Space Physics, Imperial College, London. Through his career since the 1960s, he led or participated in numerous space investigations into the physics of the heliospheric magnetic field and its interaction with the solar wind and the Earth’s space environment.  As Principal Investigator of the magnetic field investigation on the joint ESA/NASA Ulysses (1990-2009) mission, he led numerous research projects to discover the dynamics and evolution of the three-dimensional heliospheric magnetic field and its connection with solar magnetism through the solar activity cycle. From 2005 to 2010, he was Director of the International Space Science Institute, where he initiated and organised a series of workshops on magnetic fields in the solar system and beyond. He has been the editor of 13 volumes in the Space Science Series of ISSI.

Tamás Gombosi is the Konstantin Gringauz Distinguished University Professor of Space Science and the Rollin Gerstacker Professor of Engineering at the University of M
