Solar Physics - Public Understanding of Science

Along with colleagues from the Universities of Cambridge (Dr. H.E. Mason) and St. Andrews (Dr. K. Galsgaard) and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (Dr.C.D. Pike), the Solar Physics Group has been successful in obtaining a grant from PPARC to produce a multi-media, educational CD-ROM.

SunTrek follows closely the National Curriculum with each topic being introduced by a young solar scientist.
