Only if solar wind can be modeled by a uniform field. Radiation from flares might not drop off in an inverse squared relationship, but I'm not an astrophysicist

Only if solar wind can be modeled by a uniform field. Radiation from flares might not drop off in an inverse squared relationship, but I'm not an astrophysicist so this is just speculation.
- m_mueller 9y agoFlares shouldn‘t be uniform, but I‘m doubting that they‘d disturb a terraformed Martian ecosystem much as they are quite rare. I‘m guessing some moderate EM hardening of electronics would be enough. As we should have here btw., the next one-in-200y flare is not going to be pretty.
