The Open Philanthropy Project spoke with Professor Gaunt of the University of Cape
Town (UCT) to get an update on our 2016 grant to support his research on
geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) and their effects on power systems.
Conversation topics included Professor Gaunt’s graduate students, difficulties with
getting study visas, the team’s research activities, and Professor Gaunt’s
collaborations with other groups and academics.
