Fall AGU GEM Mini-workshop
Session to discuss proposed future GEM campaigns
------------------------------------------------
From Mary Hudson, mary.hudson at dartmouth.edu

Session to discuss proposed future GEM campaigns
3:30-5:30  Thursday  December 5
SF Marriot Hotel

So far, suggestions range from the very general study of
Solar Wind/Magnetosphere coupling, by analogy to the
M-I coupling campaign; more specifically, a campaign to
study interaction between the solar wind and plasma sheet
has been proposed; finally, a campaign to diagnose the
magnetospheric plasma using ULF waves has been suggested,
perhaps specific enough to be carried out by a new working
group within the inner magnetosphere/storms campaign.

Further suggestions are welcome, and discussion encouraged
at the open session on Dec 5, which will be followed by
the GEM Steering Committee meeting. We hope to narrow
options down to two to pursue with tutorials and working
group breakout sessions at the June workshop in Snowmass.
The idea is to reach a consensus by the end of our June
meeting on the next campaign.

Please share your ideas at the preliminary planning
session on Dec 5, or e-mail mary.hudson at dartmouth.edu.
