An interdisciplinary review of recent advances in Alfven wave research Alfven waves are fundamental to the dynamics of space plasmas. Recent advances in our knowledge about Alfven waves have come from several directions, including new space missions to unexplored heliospheric regions, sophisticated rocket campaigns in the auroral zone, enlarged magnetometer arrays and radar networks, and significant advances in computer modeling. Alfven Waves Across Heliophysics: Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities is an interdisciplinary collaboration from different space science communities to review recent and current Alfven wave research. Volume highlights include: Alfven waves in the solar atmosphere Alfven waves at the giant planets Alfven waves at Mars Alfven waves in moon-magnetosphere systems Alfven waves in geospace Alfven waves in the laboratory Find out more about this book in this Q&A with the Editor.
