Janet Kozyra is a heliophysicist who works on solar superstorms.{{Cite web|last=Howell|first=Elizabeth|date=January 15, 2020|title=NASA And Amazon Are Teaming Up To Build An App That Can Predict Solar Superstorms|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/elizabethhowell1/2020/01/15/super-solar-storm-amazons-fostering-warning-apps-for-that/|access-date=2021-07-23|website=Forbes|language=en}} She has used data from Imager for Magnetopause to Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE), to show that Earth interacts with solar energy during solar storms.{{Cite news|last=Leary|first=Warren E.|date=2002-05-28|title=Gauging Earth's Active Role in Solar Storms|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/28/science/gauging-earth-s-active-role-in-solar-storms.html|access-date=2021-07-22|issn=0362-4331}}

Education and career

Kozyra earned a B.S. (1979), an M.S. (1981), and a Ph.D. (1986) from the University of Michigan. Following her Ph.D. she joined the faculty at the University of Michigan as an assistant research scientist. In 2005, Kozyra was named the George Carignan Collegiate Research Professor.{{cite web |title=Memoir {{!}} Faculty History Project |url=http://faculty-history.dc.umich.edu/faculty/janet-u-kozyra/memoir |website=faculty-history.dc.umich.edu}} In 2014, Kozyra retired from her position at the University of Michigan. As of 2020, Kozyra is at the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA).{{Cite web|title=NASA HELIOPHYSICS ADVISORY COMMITTEE, June 30-July 1, 2020, virtual|url=https://spacepolicyonline.com/events/nasa-heliophysics-advisory-committee-june-30-july-1-2020-virtual/|access-date=2021-07-23|language=en-US}}
