- Precipitating electrons from the radiation belts caused by VLF waves, both natural (lightning) and manmade (VLF transmitters)
- Generation of ELF/VLF waves with the HAARP facility in Alaska
- Wave-particle interactions between ELF/VLF waves and energetic radiation belt particles
- VLF remote sensing of ionospheric disturbances from cosmic gamma-ray sources
- AWESOME ELF/VLF instrument distribution under the International Heliophysical Year
- Investigation of naturally generated chorus and hiss waves in the ELF/VLF band
