The course shall introduce to specific aspects in plasmaphysics related to the Solar system and space environment. 

After finishing the course, the students shall be able to demonstrate basic knowledge about plasma in the solar system and how the plasma environment in the Sun and the Solar system interacts with the various electro-magnetic fields in the Solar system and around the planets. This is shown by the ability to describe interactions between plasma and magnetic fields of the Earth and planets. The students shall be able to describe related processes, e.g. formation and properties of aurora. 

The students shall be able to calculate and estimate the magnitude of typical plasma related processes in the Solar system. After the project work, the student shall be able to show their utilization of the course contents for judgement and/or analysis of space physical phenomena, critically select and evaluate relevant scientific and technical information within the subject via literature survey/studies of scientific papers, and demonstrate social skills needed to effectively work in a group during the project work. 

  Lectures and project. Depending on the circumstances, a different realization of the course can be required. 

Parts of the lectures may be implemented using hybrid/blended education methods (online, videos, etc).
