*************************** ** THE GEM MESSENGER ** *************************** Volume 15, Number 44 June 20, 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CEDAR/GEM IPY/IHY/eGY Workshop Plan 1330 - 1530 June 28 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Roger Smith Prompted by the upcoming 50th anniversary of the International Geophysical Year (IGY), several programs are being developed for international coordinated research activity in geophysics. These programs have different focus areas. The International Polar Year concentrates its attention on the high latitude zones of Earth. The International Heliophysical Year expands the frontier of the IGY to the boundary of the heliosphere with a focus on fundamental processes. The Electronic Geophysical Year is a cross-cutting program aimed at the development of optimized and interoperable data and processing systems that can serve the needs of an interdisciplinary research environment. The purpose of this workshop is to help CEDAR and GEM scientists to benefit from IPY/IHY/eGY and become involved. Come to hear about these scientific programs scheduled for the 50th anniversary of the International Geophysical Year in 2007/8. Apart from the scientific advantages of coordinated international research, there will be opportunities for legacy-building, education and outreach that will strengthen our disciplines and their interaction with external communities. I expect that you will leave this workshop with the desire to participate in one or more collaborations planned or still to be developed for this time period.
