Dr. James Wanliss

Dr. James Wanliss holds undergraduate degrees in applied mathematics and physics from the University of Cape Town, an M.S degree in geophysics from the University of the Witwatersrand, and a PhD in physics from the University of Alberta, in Canada. His work has focused mainly on the causes and consequences of space weather, particularly the complex dynamics of magnetospheric substorms and space storms. His research has been almost entirely supported by U.S. government agencies, notably NASA, and NSF. He regrets that, apart from a brief stint as a teenaged intern, no oil company has since asked him to perform any kind of service. Dr. Wanliss has published over 60 peer-reviewed scientific articles, mainly in the Journal of Geophysical Research and Geophysical Research Letters. He has also published in psychology and medical areas, and popular Christian journals.
