THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA
RADIO AND PLASMA WAVE GROUP

---

Welcome to the web home of the radio and plasma wave research group at The University of Iowa Department of Physics and Astronomy founded by Professor Donald Gurnett. We are one of several space physics research groups here in the department with a heritage including the very first successful U.S. orbital launch of Explorer 1 in 1958 carrying Professor Van Allen's cosmic ray instrument.

Check out the space audio page presenting a variety of "sounds of space" collected by several of our spacecraft projects.

Please let us know about any problems you discover with our web pages or online applications by contacting the maintainers listed at the bottom of pages.
