About us
The CSR being an NWU centre of excellence reflects the quality of the research done for about 60 years. We provide world-class training in the following fields: Heliospheric physics: understanding the physics of the mechanisms of the transport, modulation, and acceleration of Galactic cosmic rays and the anomalous component in the…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/centre-space-research/cosmology
Cosmology
Cosmology explores the origin, structure, evolution, and ultimate fate of the universe. It seeks to understand the large-scale distribution of matter and energy, the dynamics of cosmic expansion, and the processes underlying the formation of galaxies and larger structures—all grounded in physical and mathematical principles. Modern physical…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/unit-environmental-sciences-and-management/sub-programmes-research-groups
