Diverse research projects are reported for the fields of astrophysics and geophysics. Included in this review are discussions of solar flares, solar wind variations and geomagnetic storms, a theory of magnetic flux transfer at the Earth's magnetopause, magnetic fields on the sun and the north-south component of transient variations of the interplanetary magnetic field, simulation of magnetic reconnection using a particle code, the geomagnetically induced current, and studies of permafrost characteristics along the Alaska oil and gas pipelines. 9 figs.
