Delores Knipp was interviewed by Vox for a new article about a pending reversal of the Sun's magnetic poles.

Knipp, a research professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences, is an expert on solar wind-geospace coupling and space weather and has written extensively about historic solar storms.
Solar storms can cause disruptions and damage to orbiting satellites and even electronics on Earth's surface, depending on the severity of the storm.
