Joe Kinrade

Dr Joe Kinrade is a Research Fellow in the Space & Planetary Physics group at Lancaster University's Physics Department. His research focuses on the remote sensing observation of planetary auroras and magnetospheres, with particular expertise in analyzing data from the Hubble Space Telescope and Cassini missions to study Saturn's auroral, radio and ENA emissions.

Dr Kinrade's research spans multiple areas of space and planetary physics:

• Remote sensing of planetary auroras and magnetospheres
• Analysis of Saturn's auroral emissions using Hubble Space Telescope and Cassini mission data
• Ionospheric imaging with GNSS tomography
• High latitude ionospheric and auroral morphology
• Effects of radio wave scintillation on GPS and SBAS performance

His publication record shows a strong emphasis on Saturn's magnetospheric dynamics, particularly examining the relationship between energetic neutral atom emissions, radio emissions, and auroral phenomena. His work often involves collaborative analysis of multi-instrument datasets to develop comprehensive models of planetary space environments, with significant contributions to understanding Saturn's complex magnetospheric processes.

Dr Kinrade has conducted fieldwork in diverse locations including Antarctica, Cape Verde, and the Outer Hebrides, contributing to both ground-based and space-based observational campaigns. His research bridges theoretical modeling with observational data analysis to advance our understanding of planetary space physics across multiple celestial bodies.
