Emma Thomas

Emma Thomas is a planetary researcher at Northumbria University's School of Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering. Her work focuses on planetary ionospheres and auroral phenomena, particularly through infrared observations of gas giants like Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune.

Key research areas include:

• Planetary atmospheric dynamics
• H3+ ion wind behavior
• Magnetic field interactions
• Solar wind impacts on planetary systems
• Infrared auroral mapping
• Comparative planetary ionospheres

Her recent publications with JWST and ground-based telescope data represent cutting-edge research in planetary space physics. Thomas contributes to understanding fundamental atmospheric processes in our solar system's gas giants through advanced spectroscopic analysis.
