SHINE Newsletter, November 2016

Dear SHINE Community,

Given that this is a busy time of the year with holidays and the upcoming AGU meeting, I would like to take a brief moment to send out a few reminders.

The first is that the 2017 SHINE Workshop will be held at the Manoir Saint-Sauveur in Saint-Sauveur, QC, Canada from July 24-28 (student day July 23). See details below. We hope to see you there!

The second is that the deadline for session proposals is Jan 15, 2017.  If you have ideas for sessions and want advice, please take this time to reach out to any of the Steering Committee members including myself.  The Steering Committee members include: Nick Arge, Eric Christian, Gregory Howes, Kelly Korreck, K.D. Leka, Noé Lugaz, Michael Shay, and Stephen White (email contact is on the SHINE website).   We are looking forward to hearing your ideas and helping organize exciting sessions — all integral to making this workshop a success this summer!  For your convenience, we’ve listed the session call instructions below.

Sincerely,
Georgia A. de Nolfo
SHINE Steering Committee Chair

  1.  Call for Session Proposals for the 2017 SHINE Workshop (Deadline: Jan. 15)


——————————————————————————————————————-


1. 2017 SHINE Workshop

The 2017 SHINE Workshop will be held at the Manoir Saint-Sauveur (http://manoir-saint-sauveur.com<http://manoir-saint-sauveur.com/>), in Saint-Sauveur, QC, Canada from July 24-28 (student day July 23). Manoir Saint-Sauveur is less than 45 miles from Montreal airport and downtown Montréal. Workshop and hotel registration information will be announced soon.

2. Call for Session Proposals for the 2017 SHINE Workshop (Deadline: Jan. 15)

If there is a topic that you would like to see included in next year's Workshop, please consider proposing a session. Session proposals can be very brief (about one page), should include a list of questions that the session will focus on, and can be emailed to me at georgia.a.denolfo at nasa.gov<mailto:georgia.a.denolfo at nasa.gov>. More detailed guidelines for session organizers are included on the SHINE website, www.shinecon.org<http://www.shinecon.org/> (see the first link in the right sidebar of that web page). If you have an idea for a session but would like help organizing it, you can still submit a session proposal. If your proposed session goes forward, the Steering Committee will look for a co-organizer to work with you. The Steering Committee encourages the submission of inter-disciplinary proposals that connect more than one of the principle sub-disciplines represented at SHINE.

In addition to 2017 workshop session proposals, the Steering Committee would like to encourage the submission of proposals for a SHINE Working Group.  A Working Group would consist of 2-3 organizers who have an inter-disciplinary science topic that can be explored in 1-day sessions over 2-3 years. Members of the Working Group would help to organize and sustain the session through multiple years bringing continuity and growth to the identified science topic.  Proposals should identify inter-disciplinary topics and present a plan for exploring this topic over multiple years.

The deadline for submitting session proposals is January 15, 2017.
