For partners Lynker and Axiom Consultants, our support will span iconic sites like the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale Sanctuary and the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

Here’s to a shared mission: protecting these remarkable marine spaces for generations to come!

New Solar Research by NCAR and Lynker’s Dr. Scott McIntosh Reveals Meteorological Insights for Space Weather Forecasting

New groundbreaking research by the NSF NCAR – The National Center for Atmospheric Research and Scott McIntosh, Lynker’s VP of Space Operations, was just published in PNAS “A Magnetohydrodynamic Mechanism for the Formation of Solar Polar Vortices”. The findings indicate that the Sun’s magnetic field likely plays an important role in creating solar polar vortices similar to those on Earth and other planets.   https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2415157121

The study highlights the importance of future missions to directly observe the Sun’s polar regions, adds to evidence that the atmospheres of the Sun and Earth behave in similar ways, and suggests that a meteorological approach to observing and modeling the Sun could improve space weather forecasts.

“We’re piling on the evidence that the Sun’s atmosphere and weather behave just like those on our planet. The implication would be that you have to treat the Sun’s atmosphere as a meteorological object,” said McIntosh, who has led this year’s roll out of Lynker’s new space weather prediction capability that enables industry-specific forecasts and alerts to mitigate detrimental impacts to vulnerable assets, infrastructure and services. Learn more at https://lynker-space.com/

Propel Solutions Wins NOAA PIFSC Socioeconomic Research!

Proud to support NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service in conducting socioeconomic and sociocultural research in the Pacific Islands Region!

This important work helps promote sustainable fisheries, advance ecosystem-based management, and ensure equity for local communities in American Samoa, Guam, CNMI, and Hawaii. Community engagement is key to gathering valuable insights and sharing culturally relevant results, helping us better protect both marine resources and the people who rely on them.

Propel Solutions unites two leading science, resource management, and technology firms: Lynker and Axiom Consultants. With over 25 years collective experience supporting NOAA, we have provided support across the National Ocean Service (NOS), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and National Weather Service (NWS).  Together we deliver exceptional services with capabilities spanning from scientific analysis to the conversion of data into actionable information to help inform the blue-economy and build resilient communities.
