2. Triennial Earth-Sun Summit (TESS) Meeting, Leesburg, Virginia, 20-24
May 2018

The Triennial Earth-Sun Summit (TESS) is a joint meeting of the Space
Physics and Aeronomy Section of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and
the Solar Physics Division (SPD) of the American Astronomical Society.
Following the successful inaugural meeting in Indianapolis in 2015, the
next meeting will take place 20-24 May 2018 at the Lansdowne Resort and
Spa in Leesburg, VA.  

TESS welcomes participation by the entire Heliophysics community,
including all four traditional sub-disciplines devoted to studies of the
Sun, Heliosphere, Magnetosphere, and Ionosphere-Thermosphere-Mesosphere.
TESS not only promotes greater interaction and unity within
Heliophysics, but also connections to astrophysics and planetary
physics.  

The scientific program will include four interdisciplinary plenary
sessions of interest across Heliophysics:  Space Weather, Heliophysics
Applied to Stellar-Planet Systems, Ion-Neutral Coupling Throughout the
Heliophysical System, and Magnetic Reconnection in Space Plasmas. There
will also be many sessions devoted to other topics, both
interdisciplinary and more narrowly focused. Some of these sessions will
be led by organizers, in the conventional "AGU style", while others will
be created by the Scientific Organizing Committee after the abstracts
have been submitted (SPD style). The SOC invites you to help organize
and then join us for the second TESS meeting.

To suggest a session, please contact one of the organizers below by 6
Nov.
