Overview

This PhD thesis details the development of a new 1D ionospheric model to describe the upper atmospheres of extrasolar giant plants. The upper atmospheres of Hot Jupiters are subject to extreme radiation conditions that can result in rapid atmospheric escape. The composition and structure of these planets’ upper atmospheres are affected by high-energy emissions from the host star. The nature of these emissions depends on the stellar type and age, making them important factors in understanding the behaviour of exoplanetary atmospheres.

`While Edwin Sutherland has been credited with initiating the theoretical examination of white collar and economic crime, Petter Gottschalk, through this book and his many articles, has established himself as the contemporary and premiere expert in this matter. This enlightening book will provide criminal justice practitioners and researchers, criminologists, sociologists, government leaders and others interested in the field of financial crime to better grasp the underlying causes, theoretical explanations and practical solutions for this all too common, but highly underreported, criminal behavior.' -- James F. Albrecht, Pace University, US `A comprehensive and insightful analysis of the complexities surrounding the causes, consequences, and control of individual level white-collar crime and organizational level corporate crime. Situating his analysis in convenience theory, Gottschalk summarizes and synthesizes an enormous body of literature from both American and European researchers and presents original case studies of white-collar crime in Norway that are sure to be of value for white-collar crime scholars and students worldwide.' -- Michael L. Benson, University of Cincinnati, US `This innovative exposition explains white collar crime to be a convenient option for perpetrators and as driven by financial desire, organisational opportunity and deviant behaviour. It deserves to be read.' -- Colin C. Williams, Sheffield University Management School, UK

Author Information

Dr Joshua Chadney completed his PhD in the Space and Atmospheric Physics Group at Imperial College London in April 2015 on the topic of modelling exoplanetary atmospheres, under the supervision of Dr Marina Galand and Dr Yvonne Unruh. His thesis work involved a multi-disciplinary approach to the exciting and highly dynamic field of exoplanet research, combining atmospheric physics with stellar physics. Joshua is currently a research fellow in the Space Environment Group at the University of Southampton, where the focus of his work has moved closer to home: Earth’s polar atmosphere. He uses a suite of instruments located on the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard to observe emissions from the aurora borealis in order to glean more incites into our planet’s upper atmosphere.
