Name: Dr Tadhg Garton
Title: Postdoctoral Researcher (visiting from the University of Southampton)
E-mail: t.m.garton@soton.ac.uk
Address: DIAS Dunsink Observatory, Dunsink Lane, Castleknock, Dublin 15, D15 XR2R, Ireland.
Research Interests:
Studies of the Sun and its effects on the planets
- Coronal hole and solar wind impact on planetary bodies
- Magnetospheric dynamics and magnetic reconnection events
- Computer vision and machine learning methods of identification and classification.
Biography:
Tadhg’s research interests are focused on the space weather link between the Sun and other planets in the solar system. After finishing an undergraduate degree in Physics and Astrophysics, Tadhg began work for his PhD on a solar coronal hole segmentation algorithm named ‘CHIMERA’, which identifies and extracts coronal hole boundaries and properties. This algorithm is run real-time on the solarmonitor.org/chimera website. Tadhg then focused his work on linking the properties of these coronal holes with the properties of the solar wind to build a predictive model for recurring space weather storms. He now works as part of Prof Jackman’s new Planetary Magnetospheres group at DIAS.

Another example of COVID creativity arises from Celtic Studies researchers, who launched the Irish Script on Screen project, so Scholars worldwide could access ancient manuscripts online. So far this year there has been 2,676,399 hits on the on the website. @DIAS_ISOS
Our second example of creativity was from our Theoretical physicists, who continued their collaborative work on complex theorems by installing some blackboards on the railings outside DIAS to work safely in the open air. More: dias.ie/2021/01/13/dia… #DIASdiscovers #blackboard
This week we are looking back over the COVID year of 2020 and celebrating the adaptability of our researchers. First up was the successful COVID compliant @SEA_SEIS expedition in May 2020. Read More: dias.ie/2021/01/13/dia… #covid19 #research #DIASdiscovers #INSN #seismology
DIAS Professor @TomRayDIAS, worked on the JWST to produce the special infrared filters required by the Mid Infra-Red Instrument (MIRI), that break up the light into its various components. JWST is now due to launch in 2021! bbc.com/news/science-e… #DIASdiscovers #JWST #MIRI
