Data story: Space weather events and infrastructure impact — tracking geomagnetic storm frequency and economic costs
Analyzes 25 years of geomagnetic storm data showing Solar Cycle 25 is exceeding predictions with 50% more X-class flares than forecast. Tracks the correlation between Kp≥7 events and satellite anomalies (200+ reported annually), aviation rerouting costs ($10–100M/year), and GPS accuracy degradation patterns. Highlights the widening gap between space weather exposure and preparedness investment.
