Call for Participation at 2011 CEDAR-GEM Joint Workshop:
GEM Focus Group Sessions on "Near Earth Magnetosphere: Plasma, 
  Fields and coupling"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From Focus Group co-Chairs: Sorin Zaharia <szaharia at lanl.gov>,
     Stan Sazykin <sazykin at rice.edu> and
     Benoit Lavraud <Benoit.Lavraud at cesr.fr>

The Near Earth Magnetosphere: Plasma, Fields and Coupling Focus Group 
will hold 2 sessions at the upcoming GEM-CEDAR Joint Workshop in Santa 
Fe (June 26-July 1, 2011), on Tuesday 06/28 and Wednesday 06/29, from 
1:30 to 3:30 PM. We invite potential contributors to participate with 
short presentations on topics relevant to the focus group, including 
theoretical, modeling and observational studies of the near-Earth 
magnetosphere plasma, electric and magnetic fields, as well as their 
interaction.

The main goal of the focus group is to improve physical knowledge and 
modeling of the near-Earth (< 10 RE) magnetosphere and its coupling 
with the outer magnetosphere; a more detailed description of the focus 
group objectives can be found at

Potential contributors are encouraged to contact Sorin Zaharia or Stan 
Sazykin with the title of their presentation.
