Prof. Nir Shaviv is a member of the Racah Insitute of Physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
His research interests cover a wide range of topics in astrophysics. Most are related to the application of fluid dynamics, radiation transfer or high energy physics to a wide range of objects – from stars and compact objects to galaxies and the early universe.
His studies on the possible relationships between cosmic ray intensity and the Earth’s climate, and the Milky Way’s Spiral Arms and Ice Age Epochs on Earth were widely echoed in the scientific literature. They are also described at length in the documentary The Cloud Mystery.
