Abstract

The UK MHD Consortium was formed in October 1996 and brings together the prominent MHD groups in the UK. The research topics are in Astrophysics with particular emphasis on the Solar Corona (St Andrews University), the Earth’s Geodynamo (Exeter, Glasgow and Newcastle Universities) and dynamo action in turbulent plasmas (Newcastle University).
