About CESPAR
Center for Space Research (CESPAR), Anchor University Lagos aims at addressing the dearth of research data in the region through deployment of multiple ground-based facilities, and strengthening institutional capabilities in atmospheric, solar-terrestrial and radio science research. Among other research areas, we exploit data from very low frequency (VLF) Radiowaves receiver and other ground-based facilities (e.g., weather station) to study atmospheric and ionospheric irregularities including investigation of the diurnal and seasonal changes, atmospheric-lithospheric connections, solar-induced perturbations and their space weather implications.
CESPAR was established to strengthen AUL capabilities in space sciences and research through coordinated and collaborative research and mentorship. We pursue vigorous research in atmospheric and radio sciences, solar-terrestrial Physics and space weather, to address the challenges posed by space weather to both ground-based and space-borne technology. Thus contributing to sustainable development in Nigeria, Africa and globally.
