DuBois, Ph.D., NRL research physicist, Chris Crabtree, Ph.D., NRL section head, stand in front of NRL’s Space Physics Simulation Chamber in Washington, D.C., Nov. 12, 2025. Lichko, Ganguli, DuBois and Crabtree worked together studying the electric field link that triggers magnetic reconnection in space that could help with predicting disruptive space weather events when they are about to occur.
