Dr Rosie Johnson is a Lecturer in the Department of Physics at Aberystwyth University. She holds a MPhys from Aberystwyth University (2014) and a PhD from the University of Leicester (2018), focusing on infrared observations of Jupiter’s ionosphere. Her research explores solar wind interactions with planetary auroras, particularly involving the H3+ molecule in upper atmospheres. She has secured significant observing time at NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility and leads projects like EISCAT_3D (2022–2026), investigating fine-scale ionospheric dynamics. Awards include the Doctoral Inaugural Lecture (2020). Johnson’s work spans planetary science, astrophysics, and space physics, with media coverage highlighting discoveries like Neptune’s auroras and breakthrough radar techniques.
Research interests include ionospheric dynamics, auroral processes, and planetary atmosphere interactions. Notable projects involve collaborations on Jupiter’s thermosphere, Uranus’ ion winds, and Saturn’s auroral emissions. Media engagements have covered aurora discoveries and radar innovations. She advises on regional chemistry education and has experience in outdoor education sectors.
Grants include the Natural Environment Research Council-funded EISCAT_3D project. Over 21 publications span Geophysical Research Letters, Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, and Space Science Reviews, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to planetary atmospheric phenomena.
