Our Research
SERENE undertakes world leading research across throughout the Space Environment
Upper Atmosphere Modelling
SERENE's primary research is based around the AENeAS, our state-of-the-art forecast model of the upper atmosphere
Extreme Space Weather
Providing rigorous mathematical estimates of the probability of extreme space weather events
Engineering Use Cases
We use AENeAS to provide solutions to Space Weather problems including GPS disruption forecasts, satellite orbit determination and impacts on HF communications
ABOUT US
SERENE is a diverse team of academics, postdoctoral fellows, postgraduate researchers and masters students working together to deliver world class research.
The SERENE offices will be in the University of Birmingham’s new School of Engineering building (opening 2021)

European Space Weather Week Delayed
With the ongoing uncertainties around the current COVID-19 pandemic, and now with concerns regarding second and third peaks in some countries, it has been decided to postpone the 17th European Space Weather Week (ESWW17/ESWW2020) to 25 – 29 October 2021. Therefore, the 17th European Space Weather Week will now be known as ESWW2021. The Programme […]
New Poster: Break up of a polar cap patch in the nightside ionosphere due to a flow channel event
Flow channel events have previously been observed breaking up polar cap patches on the dayside ionosphere but, to the best of our knowledge, have not been observed on the nightside. We report observations of a flow channel event in the evening of the 9th January 2019 under quiet geomagnetic conditions. This multi-instrument study was undertaken […]
