SHINE Newsletter September 2017

Dear SHINE Community,

We are currently soliciting topics for next year’s 2018 SHINE workshop which will be held in Cocoa Beach, Florida during the week of July 30- August 3, 2018 (Student Day is July 29).  We are looking forward to hearing your ideas for workshop sessions next 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.  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 17 October.
