The Science Behind Earth's Signals
From electromagnetic resonances in the atmosphere to solar storms that rattle our magnetic field, Earth is surrounded by measurable signals. These pages explain what they are, how they work, and why they matter. Every claim is sourced from peer-reviewed research or established scientific institutions.
From raw data to your pocket
Every metric on these pages is available in real time inside EarthBeat. Schumann resonance, Kp index, solar wind, aurora forecasts, and more.
Schumann Resonance
The electromagnetic resonance of the Earth-ionosphere cavity. What creates the 7.83 Hz signal, how it's measured, and what makes it change.
Read more →History of Schumann Resonance
From Winfried Schumann's 1952 prediction to the first measurement in 1960 and today's global monitoring networks.
Read more →The Kp Index
A planetary measure of geomagnetic disturbance. How 13 magnetometer stations produce a single number that predicts aurora visibility.
Read more →Aurora Forecast
The physics of northern and southern lights. What drives them, how to predict visibility, and the best conditions for seeing them.
Read more →Space Weather
An overview of conditions between the Sun and Earth that affect satellites, power grids, aviation, and GPS systems.
Read more →Solar Activity
Solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and the 11-year solar cycle. How the Sun's magnetic field drives space weather.
Read more →Solar Wind
The continuous stream of charged particles flowing from the Sun. What it is, how it's measured at L1, and why it matters.
Read more →Geomagnetic Storms
When solar activity disturbs Earth's magnetic field. The NOAA storm scale, historical events, and real-world effects.
Read more →Geomagnetic Storms and the Schumann Resonance
How storm-time ionospheric changes modulate the amplitude and frequency of Earth's electromagnetic cavity. The Kp-SR connection, explained.
Read more →Solar Flares and the Schumann Resonance
How X-ray bursts and solar proton events re-tune the cavity in minutes, and how to read flare signatures in EarthBeat.
Read more →Is the Schumann Resonance Rising?
What 60+ years of measurement actually show, the real 11-year solar-cycle variation, and why the popular "rising frequency" claim is mistaken.
Read more →Earthquakes and the Schumann Resonance
How earthquakes can perturb the lower ionosphere above the epicenter, and what the peer-reviewed record shows about SR anomalies around large events.
Read more →The Schumann Resonance as a Global Thermometer
Why Earle Williams showed the Schumann resonance can track tropical temperature, and what follow-on research has added since 1992.
Read more →The Schumann Resonance and the Human Body
A careful review of peer-reviewed research on Schumann resonance interactions with human physiology. What studies have shown, and where the evidence is contested.
Read more →The Schumann Resonance on Other Planets
What Cassini-Huygens measured at Titan, what searches at Mars and Venus have found, and why planetary Schumann resonances are a tool for remote sensing.
Read more →The Global Electric Circuit and the Carnegie Curve
Earth as an electrical circuit: the 1915-1929 Carnegie cruises, Wilson's theory, and the DC framework that makes the Schumann resonance make sense.
Read more →Transient Luminous Events and the Schumann Resonance
Sprites, elves, and jets are short-lived optical flashes above thunderstorms. Large ones leave distinctive Q-burst signatures in the Schumann resonance record.
Read more →Geomagnetic Activity, Heart Rate Variability, and the Autonomic Nervous System
Does space weather affect the human heart? What peer-reviewed epidemiology and HRV research actually show about geomagnetic effects on cardiovascular regulation.
Read more →Global Consciousness Project
A network of random number generators and a scientific question: does collective human attention leave a measurable trace?

Frequently Asked Questions
What scientific data does EarthBeat monitor?
EarthBeat tracks Schumann resonance from the Tomsk and Cumiana observatories, Kp geomagnetic index from NOAA SWPC, solar wind plasma and IMF data from the DSCOVR satellite, X-ray flux and proton flux from GOES satellites, and data from the Global Consciousness Project.
Where does EarthBeat get its data?
All data comes from established scientific sources: the Space Observing System in Tomsk (Russia), the VLF monitoring station in Cumiana (Italy), NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, NASA GOES satellites, and the Global Consciousness Project network.
How often is the data updated?
Schumann resonance spectrograms update every minute. Space weather data (Kp index, solar wind, X-ray flux) updates every five minutes. The AI-powered analysis refreshes every three hours in nine languages.
