[Shine-participants] SHINE Newsletter January 2019

Wed Jan 30 09:12:58 EST 2019

Dear SHINE Community,

Happy New 2019!

We have decided to move the session proposal deadline until Feb 15, 2019, due to the government shutdown.  SHINE 2019 promises to be exciting and particularly special given that it is the 20th anniversary of the first stand-alone SHINE summer workshop! Help us celebrate by contributing to the science topics addressed this summer as a session organizer and/or participant!

If you have not already done so, please consider submitting a workshop session on an exciting topic or problem that you would like to see discussed at SHINE.  If you need additional guidance, please reach out to me or any of the Steering Committee members:  Kathy Reeves, Marc DeRosa, Ben Maruca, Gregory Howes, Lynn Wilson, Cooper Downs, Nicholeen Viall-Kepko and SHINE coordinator Teresa Nieves-Chinchilla.

SHINE 2019 workshop will be held in Boulder, Colorado between August 5-9 (Student Day on August 4th).  Workshop conference and registration details are available at our website: www.shinecon.org<http://www.shinecon.org/>.

Sincerely,

Georgia A. de Nolfo

SHINE Steering Committee Chair

1. Call for Session Proposals for the 2019 SHINE Workshop (Deadline: Feb 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 interdisciplinary proposals that connect more than one of the principle sub-disciplines represented at SHINE.

In addition to 2019 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 February 15, 2019.

2. 2019 Space Weather Workshop
The 2019 Space Weather Workshop will be held April 1 - 5, in Boulder, Colorado. This meeting will bring together Federal agencies, the academic community, the private sector, and international partners to focus on the diverse impacts of space weather, on forecasting techniques, and on recent scientific advances in understanding and predicting conditions in the space environment.
The program will highlight impacts in several areas, including: aviation, human spaceflight, satellites, power grids, and other sectors affected by space weather. The conference will also include an update on the national and international space weather programs to mitigate and respond to space weather impacts on society. We welcome a broad range of participation, including representatives from research and development, operational organizations, policy development, and industries impacted by space weather.
The Space Weather Workshop is coordinated by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research and co-sponsored by the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, the NSF Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, and the NASA Heliophysics Division. For workshop information and to register, please visit http://www.cvent.com/d/vbqvwg. The program, speakers, and other relevant information will become available in forthcoming announcements.

3. EGU 2019 session: Turbulence, magnetic reconnection, shocks and particle acceleration

Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the following EGU 2019 session:

NP6.7/PS4.4/ST2.8

Title: Turbulence, magnetic reconnection, shocks and particle acceleration: nonlinear processes in space, laboratory and astrophysical plasmas

Abstract link: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2019/session/30643

Abstract: Turbulence, reconnection and shocks are fundamental non-linear processes observed in solar, heliospheric, magnetospheric and laboratory plasmas. These processes are not separate, but rather appear to be interconnected. For instance, a close link exists between reconnection and turbulence. On the one hand the turbulence cascade favors the onset of magnetic reconnection between magnetic island and, on the other hand, magnetic reconnection is able to trigger turbulence in the reconnection outflows and separatrices. Similarly, shocks may form in collisional and collisionless reconnection processes and can be responsible for turbulence formation, as for instance in the turbulent magnetosheath.

This session welcomes simulations, observational and theoretical works relevant for the study of these non-linear phenomena. Particularly welcome will be works focusing on the link between them in a range of scale going from fluid MHD to kinetic. The topic of this session is relevant for the understanding of solar atmosphere (from the photosphere to the solar wind), interaction of solar wind with planetary magnetospheres, planetary magnetospheric physics and particle acceleration and transport throughout the heliosphere. The session is also relevant to past and present space missions in plasma astrophysics such as Cluster, MMS and Parker Solar Probe.

The EGU 2019 will take place in Vienna on 7-12 April. The deadline for abstract submission is 10 January 2019, 13:00 CET.

We hope to see you in Vienna,

Best regards,

Francesco Pucci, Maria Elena Innocenti, Alexandros Chasapis, Giovanni Lapenta

5. International symposium: Recent progress in heliospheric physics by direct measurements of unexplored space plasmas
International symposium "Recent progress in heliospheric physics by direct measurements of unexplored space plasmas",  Nagoya, Japan, February 25 (Mon.) - 28 (Thu), 2019

The International ISEE symposium "Recent progress in heliospheric physics by direct measurements of unexplored space plasmas" will be held from 25-28 Feb. 2019 at Nagoya University, Japan. The purpose of the symposium is to bring heliospheric physicists together for discussions about new developments of heliospheric physics driven by recent and forthcoming spacecraft missions.  The symposium covers broad topics related to the recent progress and future outline in heliospheric physics with invited and contributed talks. The 2018 ISEE prize winner will also give a plenary talk at the symposium.
If you hope to give an oral /poster talk, please contact iseesympo2018 at isee.nagoya-u.ac.jp<mailto:iseesympo2018 at isee.nagoya-u.ac.jp> by January 28, 2019. For further information, please visit the web site of the symposium: http://stsw1.isee.nagoya-u.ac.jp/ISEE_Sympo2019.html
