SHINE Newsletter December 2017

Dear SHINE Community,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at the AGU!  We would like to remind you to take some time over the holidays to draft some session proposals for the SHINE 2018 workshop in Cocoa Beach, Florida the week of July 30- August 3, 2018 (Student Day is July 29). Session proposals are due January 15, 2018. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me, Noé Lugaz, or other Steering Committee members.

Wishing you all Happy Holidays and New Year!

Sincerely,
Georgia A. de Nolfo
SHINE Steering Committee Chair

1.  Call for Session Proposals for the 2018 SHINE Workshop
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 2018 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, 2018.

2. Postponement of SHINE solicitation until FY 2019

NSF announced recently at the 2017 Fall AGU that the SHINE 2018 solicitation will be postponed until FY 2019.  Please check the SHINE/NSF website for updates.
