The 2005 NCAR ASP Summer Colloquium on Space Weather 31 May to 10 Jun - due Apr 15
The National Center for Atmospheric Research invites applications for participation in a Space Weather Colloquium on 31 May - 10 June 2005 in Boulder Colorado. The application deadline is April 15, 2005. Sponsored participants will receive support for travel costs, housing, ground transportation, and a modest per diem.
This 8-day colloquium is designed for upper level graduate students. The program includes lectures by experts from universities and research institutions, a student poster session, a tour of the NOAA Space Environment Center, and interactive sessions designed for student teams to gain hands-on experience with space measurements. Participants will have ample opportunity to interact with the experts throughout the colloquium.
The colloquium lectures will include two sets of tutorials and a series of topical presentations that detail specific space weather events and their effects. One tutorial series will provide quantitative perspectives on select physical processes that govern the Sun-Earth system. These include:
- Single-Particle Motion in a Collisionless Plasma (Terry Onsager, NOAA/SEC)
- Magnetized Fluid Descriptions of Space Plasmas (Tom Holzer, NCAR/HAO)
- Current Systems in the Terrestrial Space Environment (Rod Heelis, UT-Dallas)
- Particle Acceleration from the Sun to the Earth and Beyond (Marty Lee, UNH)
The second set of lectures will characterize the Sun-Earth system domains. The opening lecture, entitled "Space Weather, A Biography of the Field" will be given by George Siscoe (Boston University). Later in the week George will discuss "Bimodal Solar Wind-Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling".
