Dr. Erlandson's research interests include the study of low frequency Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves, wave-particle interactions, field-aligned currents and space weather applications. In addition, Dr. Erlandson has developed a number of new optical sensing instruments, one of which uses Magneto-Optical Filter (MOF) technology and another that involves the development of low cost sensing approaches for terrestrial weather applications.
