Capacity Building

CAWSES/SCOSTEP/STEL Comics

As part of CAWSES Capacity Building Theme, CAWSES Science Comics are being made available through this website. These comics have been made at Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory (STEL), Nagoya University with the overall guidance of Prof. Y. Kamide. These were originally in the Japanese language but SCOSTEP in collaboration with STEL has made these files available both in English and with "blank" balloons which will enable translation to other languages as well. Through this effort CAWSES/SCOSTEP would like to reach a wider audience and get them interested in the CAWSES Science.

These comics are meant to essentially raise the curiosity of children and awareness of people from non-science background. For more accurate details and up-to-date information, the reader is encouraged to consult other literature such as published books and refereed journal articles.
