Space Physics Researcher to Visit Augsburg

Dr. Gordon Rostoker, emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Alberta and long-time researcher on the physics of the aurora borealis, will present two lectures at Augsburg on Monday, Oct. 8 as part of a 2-day visit. All students, faculty, and staff are welcome to both lectures.

1. At 12:10 p.m., in Science 205, Prof. Rostoker will present “Ambiguity in space science models: The plight of the scientists when the data aren't good enough.” He will show how the models scientists construct are only as good as the data used to construct them. Better data will sometimes allow one to distinguish between competing models, such as in the classic conflict between the Ptolemaic and Copernican models of the solar system.

2. At 3:30 p.m., in Science 21, Prof. Rostoker will make an illustrated public presentation, sponsored by Augsburg’s Chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS), on “Northern Lights: Violence in the Sky.”
