Spritacular: Electrical Discharges Above Thunderstorms with Dr. Burcu Kosar

Join the NASA Night Sky Network on Tuesday, March 11, at 6:00 PM Pacific Time (9:00 PM Eastern) along with Dr. Burcu Kosar where we’ll discuss Spritacular, a NASA citizen science project that gathers public observations of Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) above thunderstorms to advance research and connect citizen scientists with experts.

Dr. Burcu Kosar is affiliated with the ITM Physics Laboratory of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. She is an atmospheric and space physics expert who has studied critical regions of the Earth’s atmosphere through computational modeling and satellite data analysis. Dr. Kosar has a wide range of research interests, including plasma discharge physics and computational electromagnetics, lightning-related transient luminous events (TLEs), data science, and citizen science, just to name a few. She is from Istanbul, Turkey, and got her Ph.D. in Physics from Florida Tech in 2015.
