[Shine-participants] SHINE Pre-Workshop Newsletter

[Noé Lugaz]

Dear All, 

Please find below some announcements. See you at SHINE in Saint Sauveur in a few days.

1. Shuttle bus for St Sauveur
2. AGU Sessions of Interest
3- Post-doctoral Research Position at the University of New Hampshire in the Acceleration of Particles to Suprathermal Energies

****************************************************************

1. Shuttle bus for St Sauveur

For those planning to take the shuttle bus to the hotel from Montreal airport, please be at the Tim Horton’s in the arrival area 20 minutes before the scheduled shuttle time. The driver will come with a SHINE sign about 15 minutes before departure, next to the window to the outside. He will then direct the passengers to the correct bus stop. We are not waiting for late comers. If there is a subsequent shuttle, you can take it. If not, we will reimburse you for the shuttle price and you should take a cab to the hotel. 

2. AGU Sessions
AGU abstract deadline is August 2. Below are two sessions that may be of interest to many

SM001: Frontier solar-terrestrial science enabled by the combination of data-driven techniques and physics-based understanding
Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to bring to your attention the Frontier solar-terrestrial science enabled by the combination of data-driven techniques and physics-based understanding<https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session22864 <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__agu.confex.com_agu_fm17_preliminaryview.cgi_Session22864&d=DwMFaQ&c=c6MrceVCY5m5A_KAUkrdoA&r=vgKXDGIZAb46VuIAoNKbFeYJwHN_ukNoeRmw-SRx4gg&m=Zb-F9mlMdJASP4xREJ6IRvDejaoVmLFAYa-yM1JSmfM&s=k1NtgydqpQCEP-cYb0GAOYS_TZcqeCeaD19fe9iwtx0&e=>> session (SM001), which will be convened at the upcoming AGU 2017 Fall Meeting, to be held in New Orleans, 11-15 December. Please note that the deadline for abstract submission is Wednesday August 2.

Session Description:
The Sun-Earth system is complex and highly coupled. Understanding and modeling observed Sun-Earth phenomena requires the combination of systems-level (global) approaches with extensive utilization of our growing and increasingly accessible observational system. Analysis techniques from the fields of statistical inference, information theory, and machine learning coupled with emerging state-of-the-art computational techniques are enabling a new frontier in Sun-Earth system specification. This session will be a forum for novel understanding of Solar-Terrestrial relations obtained from the use of data-driven approaches and technologies. Specific emphasis will be placed on improved understanding of complexities, including multi-scale coupling, causality, nonlinearity, and the implications for space weather prediction.

Primary Convener:  Ryan Michael McGranaghan, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, United States
Conveners:  Jacob Bortnik, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, United States, Enrico Camporeale, Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica, Amsterdam, Netherlands and Tomoko Matsuo, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, United States
Co-Organized with:
SPA-Magnetospheric Physics, SPA-Aeronomy, and SPA-Solar and Heliospheric Physics

Please consider submitting an abstract and we look forward to discussing your fantastic work in New Orleans!

Warm Regards,
Ryan McGranaghan
Tomoko Matsuo

SH009: Fundamental Physics of the Solar Corona and Inner Heliosphere
Session ID#: 23804

Session Description:
The solar corona and solar wind provide a complex laboratory where magnetic fields guide and energize the
plasma. Structured over an incredibly wide range of time and spatial scales, the coronal plasma is heated and
accelerated to give the turbulent, super-Alfvénic wind observed in the heliosphere. This session is open to
exploring the many facets of physical processes involved in heliospheric origins: from the sources of different wind
types and their connection to coronal structures, to the micro-physics of distribution functions, anisotropies, to the
role of turbulence and wave-particle interactions in heating and acceleration, to the energization associated with
structures, such as shocks, current sheets and magnetic reconnection. What specific observables can be derived
from models, what fundamental observations should drive theoretical developments, in preparation for the decade
of inner heliospheric and coronal exploration with Solar Orbiter and Solar Probe Plus? Solicited contributions
include theoretical, numerical simulation, and observational papers.

Primary Convener:
Chadi S Salem, University of California Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, United States

Conveners:
Marco Velli, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, United States, 
Olga Panasenco, Advanced Heliophysics, Pasadena, CA, United States and 
William H Matthaeus, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, United States

3- Post-doctoral Research Position at the University of New Hampshire in the Acceleration of Particles to Suprathermal Energies

The Space Science Center of the University of New Hampshire is looking to hire a post-doctoral researcher to work on hybrid/PIC simulations of the acceleration of protons and ions to suprathermal energies by turbulence, compression and shocks. The position is for 2 years starting around January 2018 with a possibility for a third year. The project involves a large fraction of the Space Science Center (Profs. Vasquez, Kucharek, Isenberg, Lugaz, Lee, Moebius, Schwadron, Smith, Vasquez, among others) as well as Mihir Desai from SwRI. The review of applications will start in early October. Any question should be addressed to noe.lugaz -at- unh.edu <http://unh.edu/>
