*************************** ** THE GEM MESSENGER ** *************************** Volume 20, Number 2 January 15, 2010 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- New GEM Focus Group Selections ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Mike Liemohn At the GEM Steering Committee meeting during the mini-workshop in December, several Focus Group proposals were selected to begin as new elements of the GEM scientific endeavors this summer. They are: -- Dayside FACs and Energy Deposition (for the next 3 years) -- Physical Models of the Radiation Belts (for the next 5 years) -- The Magnetosheath (for the next 5 years) Note that consideration of the two "renewal" proposals (both for the existing GGCM FGs) was considered premature and a decision was postponed until later meetings. The Steering Committee would like to extend its sincere thanks to all of those who proposed focus group concepts this round. We greatly appreciate your time and effort to develop an idea for leading the research activities and break-out session discussions of the GEM community. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |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://aten.igpp.ucla.edu/GemWiki | |Workshop Information: http://www.cpe.vt.edu/gem/index.html | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
