This is the second attempt at having an afternoon of seminars *for and by* students. The seminars will cover background material that will be assumed as common knowledge during the GEM meeting. We will be having these seminars on Sunday June 15 in Snowmass, in the afternoon, meeting for lunch beforehand. We have changed the format from last years student talks to cover four general areas. In each area we have assembled a list of topics that we would like student volunteers to speak about. This list of topics is intended to be a guide for the presenter and the details of talk can be worked out with that sessions moderator. Furthermore if you would like to speak about a topic not listed here please feel free to contact us with your ideas! 1997 Gem Student Tutorials Session I - Regional Descriptions Magnetosheath - Magnetopause - Boundary Layers Cusp - Separatrix Inner Magnetosphere (e.g. Ring current and plasmasphere) Outer Magnetosphere (e.g. Lobes, Magnetotail, Plasma Sheet Boundary Layer, and Plasma Sheet) Ionosphere Currents - Region 1, 2 and Cusp Session II - Convection Ionospheric Signatures (e.g. AMIE pictures and Hepner-Maynard Convection Patterns) Dayside (e.g. FTEs) Nightside (e.g. Convections bays and BBFs) Session III - Phenomenology Storms General Description Magnetic Cloud Events Substorm General Description Ionospheric Signatures Current Models Session IV - Modeling Global MHD models Rice Convection model Empirical models (e.g. Tsyganenko) If you are interested in presenting at this years student seminars please contact Karen Lewis Hirsch (hirsch at bu.edu). Thank you for your interest and see you at GEM soon! Karen Lewis Hirsch (hirsch at bu.edu) Anders M. Jorgensen (anders at bu.edu) E.
