Dr. Eric Kihn is a long time employee of the National Geophysical
Data Center (NGDC) in Boulder. Eric first began with NGDC in 1989 as a
student assistant and joined as a Professional Research Associate with

levels in the organization including physical scientist, group leader, then Deputy Director, and
currently serves as Acting Director.
In addition to numerous papers in the space weather arena, Eric's
research interests led to the development of the Space Weather Analysis

models. Eric Kihn is the lead developer of the Space Physics Interactive
Data Resource (SPIDR) and Environmental Scenario Generator (ESG)
systems for which he received DOC silver medals in 1994 and 1997. In
