1- 2020 Space Weather Workshop
The 2020 Space Weather Workshop will be held April 20-24, 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 and exploration, 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 
https://cpaess.ucar.edu/events/space-weather-workshop. The program, 
speakers, hotel information, information for student participation, and 
other relevant information will be announced in the next several weeks.

2- Parker One Conference
MEETING: Parker One  First Annual Parker Solar Probe Conference, 23-27 March 2020, JHU/APL, Laurel, Maryland USA -- Third Announcement

http://parkerseries.jhuapl.edu

NASA Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission, which launched on August 12, 2018, has completed the first three of its 24 scheduled orbits about the Sun (perihelia on November 5, 2018, April 4, 2019, and September 1, 2019). All three orbits had roughly the same perihelion distance of 35.7 Rsun from the Sun center. On December 26, 2019, the spacecraft flew by Venus for the second time since launch. This maneuver reduced perihelion to 27.8 Rsun. The main science objectives of the PSP mission are to: (1) Trace the flow of energy that heats and accelerates the solar corona and solar wind; (2) Determine the structure and dynamics of the plasma and magnetic fields at the sources of the solar wind; and (3) Explore mechanisms that accelerate and transport energetic particles.

Data from the first two orbits have been released to the public on November 12, 2019, and from the third orbit in February 2020. The data returned so far is a treasure trove that holds potential for breakthrough discoveries. PSP is crossing new boundaries of space exploration.

The first annual Parker Solar Probe conference will be held from March 23 to 27, 2020 in Laurel, Maryland at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab. The meeting will highlight discoveries from the first three orbits and new ones from orbit 4 with closer perihelion of 27.8 Rsun. The conference is open to the entire heliophysics community. Abstracts involving relevant theory, simulations, data analysis, and coordinated observations are encouraged. There will be space for both oral and poster presentations, as well as splinter sessions. Registration opened November 12, 2019.

The Abstract Deadline has been extended to January 29, 2020

Registration Costs
$375 early, $425 after January 31, 2020

3- Decadal Survey Midterm Assessment Webinar: February 3
REPORT RELEASE WEBINAR: February 3rd at 2pm EST

 *Progress Toward Implementation of the 2013 Decadal Survey for Solar and
Space Physics: A Midterm Assessment*


The National Academies' 2013 Decadal Survey for Solar and Space Physics identified
key priorities and presented, for the period 2013-2022, a comprehensive
Heliophysics research and applications program for NASA, NSF, and NOAA. In
late 2018, a new National Academies study committee was formed to undertake
a planned midterm assessment of the decadal survey.  Its charge included an evaluation of progress made
towards decadal survey goals, advice to the sponsoring agencies on how best
to implement decadal survey priorities given current available resources,
and recommendations on how to prepare for the next decadal survey. Learn
more about the study’s key findings and recommendations by attending a report
release webinar

led by study co-chairs Tom Woods and Robyn Millan, on *Monday, February 3,
2020 from 2:00-3:00 pm EST. Their talk will be followed by a Q&A session with the online audience.

4- The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is hiring! (with correct link)

The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is hiring a Lab Director for our High Altitude Observatory (HAO) Laboratory. HAO research focuses on the impact of Solar variability on Earth’s atmosphere across temporal scales, with the goal of gaining a better understanding of the key physical processes that can both improve and inform next-generation forecasts of space weather, associated hazards, and space climate.

The Director’s primary responsibilities will be to strategically lead the lab’s scientific and administrative direction, in alignment with NCAR’s strategic goals and missions. As a member of the NCAR Executive Committee, the Director shares in NCAR management deliberations and decisions, offering on the behalf of NCAR and HAO advice on matters such as scientific goals, initiatives and standards, budgets, priorities, policies, programs, and other matters. Join the NCAR team where our focus is on science for the betterment of society and where we support our staff with excellent benefits.
