Second AMISR Science Planning Workshop June 20-21, 2008, Midway, Utah (with CEDAR/GEM Workshops) See Also http://www.amisr.com/meetings/2008/ and http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu/wiki (click on 'Workshops' and 2008) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Elizabeth Kendall The Second AMISR Science Planning Workshop is scheduled for June 20-21, 2008, at the Zermatt Resort in Midway, Utah. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the 2008 CEDAR/GEM meetings, also at Zermatt Resort. The purpose of this AMISR workshop is to highlight results from the first year of operations at Poker Flat AMISR (PFISR), provide an incoherent scatter basics tutorial, explain user access to AMISR data, and discuss plans for future operations at the Resolute Bay AMISR (RISR). The Friday afternoon and Saturday morning sessions will be part of the CEDAR workshop, but all abstracts, including those for Saturday afternoon, can be submitted through the 2008 CEDAR registration website (when it is available) at http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu/wiki (click on 'Workshops' and 2008). This AMISR science planning workshop is the second in a series of workshops planned to explore the range of science objectives that can be achieved with this new NSF facility. The First AMISR Science Planning Workshop was held in 2006 (prior to the start of PFISR operations) at Asilomar Conference Grounds near Monterey, California. Information on the first meeting, and other AMISR news, can be found at http://www.amisr.com.

The Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling Summer School 2008 July 21 - August 1, 2008, Boston University ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Nicholas Gross The Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling Summer School 2008 Space Weather Phenomena, Consequences, and Modeling or Reality, Harsh Reality, and Virtual Reality July 21 - August 1, 2008 Boston University The 8th Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling (CISM) Summer School will be held at Boston University from July 21 to August 1, 2008. The school will closely follow the model of the previous successful Summer Schools, which comprehensively immersed students in the subject of space weather, what it is, what it does, and what can be done about it. The CISM summer school supplements standard curricula relating to the physics, meteorology, and climatology of space with integrated overviews of the solar-terrestrial weather system from the Sun to the earth, its effects and consequences, and the state of the art in modeling it. A unique feature of the school is a series of three-hour computer labs where students use results from models developed by CISM to understand the space environment and to make space weather predictions. The team of instructors will be led by Jeffrey Hughes, Ramon Lopez, John Lyon, and Harlan Spence. The school is intended primarily for students about to enter graduate school in the space sciences or early in their graduate careers. However, others with a professional interest in space weather have also attended and benefited from earlier schools. Further details and application materials, including a request for financial support, can be found on the CISM web site at www.bu.edu/CISM/ Applications are due by May 1. CISM is an NSF Science and Technology Center. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |To subscribe GEM Messengers, send an e-mail to | | with the following command in the body of your e-mail message: | | subscribe gem | |To remove yourself from the mailing list, the command is: | | unsubscribe gem | | | |To broadcast a message to the GEM community, please contact Peter Chi at | | | |Please use plain text as the format of your submission. | | | |URL of GEM Home Page: http://www-ssc.igpp.ucla.edu/gem/Welcome.html | |Workshop Information: http://gem.rice.edu/~gem | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
