C H A P T E R N ° 48 The Gannon/Mother’s Day Storm: Economic Impact (Part 1)
Dear reader
Hoplon is delighted to present its latest article.
In today’s article, we will revisit the May 2024 space weather event - also known as the Gannon Storm and the Mother’s Day Storm - and look closer at its economic impact.
This article will be the first of two articles focused on the May 2024 event and its economic impact.
We will start with a discussion on the impact of the event on the near-Earth space environment, and the Earth’s atmosphere and its magnetosphere, and how these had cascading effects on critical space and ground-based infrastructure.
Following this, we will explore the economic impact within different critical infrastructures.
Lastly, we will provide a future outlook, discussing what the Gannon/Mother’s Day Storm exposed about society’s capability to protect critical infrastructure.
Hoplon wishes you a pleasant read and hope to see you again soon!
