Kazue Takahashi

Dr. Kazue Takahashi a magnetospheric physicist with expertise in magnetospheric ultra low frequency (ULF) waves. He has published numerous papers on ULF waves observed by satellites, including ATS, ISEE, AMPTE/CCE, CRRES, SCATHA, GOES, Geotail, THEMIS, and the Van Allen Probes. Results reported in these papers include multiharmonic toroidal waves; field line mode structure of compressional Pc5 waves and giant pulsations; cavity mode Pi2 waves; solar cycle variation of plasma mass density; and energy and pitch angle dependence of ion flux oscillations induced by standing Alfvén waves. Dr. Takahashi has convened meetings and sessions; reported on ULF waves as an IAGA reporter; served on review panels; and co-chaired the new NSF GEM Focus Group on ULF waves. He is a member of the project scientists team for the Van Allen Probes and Parker Solar Probe missions.
