SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND
B. G. Fejer is a Professor at the Physics Department and in the
Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences at Utah State University,
and an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering. He was a Visiting Professor at the Solar Terrestrial
Environment Laboratory of Nagoya University during January-April
1994. He has as extensive experience on the study of ionospheric
electric fields and plasma drifts using incoherent scatter radar
observations and satellite measurements, and has also been involved
in the study of ionospheric plasma waves in the equatorial and
auroral regions. He has been involved a numerous coordinated studies
of the thermosphere and ionosphere. He was a member of the CEDAR
steering committee of the Aeronomy Program of the National Science
Foundation, President of the Committee on Solar Terrestrial Physics
of the IPHG (Pan American Institute of History and Geography of
the Organization of American States), member of the NASA Strategic
Panning Committee in 1990, Chairman of the organizing committee
of the International Symposium on Equatorial Aeronomy (ISEA) held
in Tucuman, Argentina, Co-Chairman of the ISEA meeting held in
Bali in 1995, member of the organizing committee of the Chapman
Conference on Magnetic Storms in 1996, and a member of the external
review committee of the Solar Terrestrial Environment Laboratory
of Nagoya University in 1995. He is presently an associate editor
of the Journal of Geophysical Research, Space Physics, and a member
of the editorial board of the Brazilian Journal of Geophysics.
