evidence: A group of University of Houston student researchers were selected to run experiments during the week-long winter campaign of the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) operated by the University of Alaska Fairbanks. [...] HAARP has long been at the forefront of studying the Earth's upper atmosphere. [...] The HAARP facility, located in Gakona, Alaska, offers an array of powerful instruments and antennas capable of emitting radio waves into the ionosphere, stimulating various phenomena that can be observed and studied. By leveraging these resources, students had the chance to contribute to ongoing research efforts while honing their scientific skills.
