C H A P T E R N ° 38 Maritime Ports (Part 3)
Dear reader,
Hoplon is delighted to present its latest article.
In today’s article, we will look closer at the relation between space weather and maritime ports.
This article will be part 3, and thus the last, of 3 articles focused on maritime ports. Combined, the three articles will explore maritime ports as a critical infrastructure (CI), the “system of systems” design, and the anticipated ‘mega disaster’ scenario.
Additionally, they will look closer at the connection between seaports and the energy sector and space infrastructure.
Moreover, they will discuss the notion of cascading risks, focused on the combination of space weather, the ‘system of systems’ design, and maritime ports.
Lastly, they will consider how space weather resilience can plays a significant role within maritime resilience.
In this article; C H A P T E R N ° 38 Maritime Ports (Part 3), the following topics will be explored: Space weather and satellites, cascading risks, and space weather resilience.
Hoplon wishes you a pleasant read and hope to see you again soon!
C H A P T E R N ° 26 The Agricultural Sector
Dear reader,
In today’s article, we will look closer at the relation between space weather and the agricultural sector.
Moreover, we will explore the advanced technologies used within this sector and how these increase vulnerabilities to space weather impact. Additionally, we will explore 2024 space weather event, the Gannon Storm, and how it affected with the agricultural sector.
Hoplon wishes you a pleasant read and hope to see you again soon!
C H A P T E R N ° 22 The May 2024 Space Weather Event
Dear reader,
In today’s article, we will explore the May 2024 space weather event. We will look closer at the cause and what happened during the event, and how this storm emphasizes some of the vulnerabilities within critical space and terrestrial (ground-based) infrastructures, such as the energy sector.
Moreover, we will discuss why this event highlights the need for better space weather forecasting and warning capabilities, and the vulnerabilities within the modern-day agricultural sector.
Hoplon wishes you a pleasant read and hope to see you again soon!
