Monitoring Radiation on Commercial Flights: An Interview With Captain Ian Getley
Staff writer for the American Geophysical Union
Ian Getley has logged more than 18,000 hours on Boeing 747s during his 29 years—20 as a captain—as a pilot with Qantas Airways. In 2008, he received a Ph.D. for his space weather research from the University of New South Wales, in Australia. Here Getley describes his experience measuring cosmic and solar particle radiation on commercial aircraft and his recent work developing a new radiation monitor that will allow pilots to respond in flight to solar events.
