The [https://gemworkshop.org/posters/ GEM poster schedule is now available]!
  
−
The GEM Steering Committee (SC) oversees all GEM activities, except funding. The SC consists of the Chair, Chair-elect, 4 science community representatives, the research area coordinators (see below), and the GEM meeting organizer (MO). [''See amendment below for additional voting members.''] These are the voting members. A quorum requires the votes (in person or via e-mail) of at least half the voting members and the chair. The chair's vote breaks a tie. Votes per e-mail are permissible and are solicited by the chair. When casting an e-mail vote the voting member should e-mail the vote to all other voting members.

=== Student Representatives ===
  
−
The SC elects a successor when a member, except the chair, rotates out and the SC Chair appoints the new member. A new SC chair-elect will be elected by the SC and appointed by the outgoing chair. The chair-elect serves for two years, and after that period automatically becomes the new chair to serve in that capacity for another two years. <s>The science community representatives serve a term of 3 years.</s> Care shall be taken that the voting members cover a broad range of GEM activities and interests and that the terms are staggered to maintain corporate memory.

# Inner Magnetosphere (IMAG)
 
−
# Magnetotail and Plasma Sheet (MPS)
 
−
# Magnetosphere Ionosphere Coupling (MIC)
 
−
# Global System Modeling (GSM)
 
  
−
The general purpose of the GSM Research Area is to include focus groups that fall within the scope of the GEM program but cross more than one of the other RAs (Dayside, IMS, Tail, and M-I Coupling). GSM includes developing, validating, and comparing analytic, first-principles numerical, and data-based models of geospace environment that span more than one region and that lead to the development of a global description of the geospace. Activities appropriate for GSM include, but are not limited to, use and development of multiple and/or coupled models or standalone models describing more than one region, designing and implementing "metrics" studies, support and extension of modeling "challenges" from focus groups in this and other research areas, and providing formal partnership with other organizations or institutions that support GGCM-relevant research in collaboration with GEM.

−
*  Ensure that the FG sessions keep formal presentations short and allow sufficient time for discussion.  Each FG session should have at least one RAC in attendance who takes notes and reports to the SC and in the GEM newsletter.
 
−
*  Report to the SC at the SC meetings on the activities of those focus groups. For focus groups that fall under several RAs the respective RACs decide who should include that focus group in their report.
 
−
*  Publish a report on the FG activities in the GEM newsletter within 6 weeks following the summer/fall workshops.
 
−
''Revised 2020'': Publish a report on the FG activities in the electronic GEMstone annually.

In October 2020, the GEM Steering Committee voted to establish an “Executive Council,” a standing committee that consists of three members of the Steering Committee. The purpose is to assist in the governance of GEM during times of crisis or emergency, such as when the Chair and/or Vice-Chair are unavailable. As such, it functions only in an “on-call” or “as-needed” fashion.

The FG co-chairs are expected to organize sessions at the summer workshop, and, if appropriate, also at the pre-AGU Mini-GEM workshop. There is no set number of sessions that a FG should organize, but 2-3 sessions are considered to be typical.
+
Selection criteria:
 +
*Applicants must be enrolled in a US-based institution and traveling from a location within the US.
 +
*Applicants must be enrolled in a university as a graduate student on the date the financial support application closes.
 +
*A student applicant’s advisor must submit a letter of acknowledgement. A statement of financial need is optional.
 +
*Students receiving financial support must participate during the Student Day activities and present a poster during the main workshop poster sessions.
 +
*Student representatives will be funded.
 +
*Student tutorial speakers will be funded.
 +
*Financial need: letters from the student’s advisor (or from the post-doc applicant) stating the level of financial need will be considered (e.g., the post doc has no travel funding; the advisor only has travel funding for one student but has five students who want to attend, etc.).
 +
*Lottery: Of the remaining funds, students will be selected via a lottery system. 1st time attendees will be weighted heavier in the randomized selection to ensure they are prioritized. There will be a box to check on the application to note if this is the student’s first time attending GEM.

The SC issues a call for FG proposals in early Fall of each year, with a deadline the week before the Mini-GEM workshop in December.  ''Amended 2019-Aug-23'': Proposals will be sent to the SC. A breakout session at the Mini-GEM workshop will be held to allow proposers to present their proposals. The SC discusses the proposals and votes at its Fall Mini-GEM meeting which FGs to implement. The target number of active FGs at any time is ~12. Thus, there will be ~2-3 new FGs selected every year.  ''Amended 2019-Aug-23'':  After selection, the selected FGs will be given a page on the GEM website where they should post their successful proposal and use for FG activities.

Focus groups are selected by the voting members of the Steering Committee following in-depth discussion of each focus group proposal/presentation and a thorough discussion of the merits and weaknesses of each.  Steering Committee members have the latitude to make their own determination of which proposal(s) should be selected.  However, there are some guiding principles that typically should be taken into account (in no particular order):
+
'''Visual Presentation'''
  
−
* The scientific merits and timeliness of the proposed research;
+
* Balance. The poster should be filled with information without being considered cluttered. Avoid unnecessary blank spaces.
−
* The fit of the science with the GEM program and GEM priorities;
+
* Legibility. Poster should be legible from a normal standing distance (~2-6 feet / 0.6 - 1.8 meters). You may want to avoid font sizes less than 24. Figures should be large enough to be identifiable.
−
* The fit of the focus group with other focus groups;
+
* Graphics. Figures are formatted clearly. All information should be clearly described (e.g., titles, legends, scales, color bars, etc.). Any expository dialogue pertaining to the figure should be present without appearing cluttered (see Balance). 
−
* The overlap of the focus group with other focus groups;
+
* Flow. The poster follows a logical order. Order should be intuitive.
−
* The deliverables being compelling and realistic;
 
−
* The plans for making the focus group activities interactive and “GEM-style”;

GEM Financial Aid Application

Selection criteria:

  • Applicants must be enrolled in a US-based institution and traveling from a location within the US.
  • Applicants must be enrolled in a university as a graduate student on the date the financial support application closes.
  • A student applicant’s advisor must submit a letter of acknowledgement. A statement of financial need is optional.
  • Students receiving financial support must participate during the Student Day activities and present a poster during the main workshop poster sessions.
  • Student representatives will be funded.
  • Student tutorial speakers will be funded.
  • Financial need: letters from the student’s advisor (or from the post-doc applicant) stating the level of financial need will be considered (e.g., the post doc has no travel funding; the advisor only has travel funding for one student but has five students who want to attend, etc.).
  • Lottery: Of the remaining funds, students will be selected via a lottery system. 1st time attendees will be weighted heavier in the randomized selection to ensure they are prioritized. There will be a box to check on the application to note if this is the student’s first time attending GEM.

GEM Poster Guidelines

We, the GEM Student Representatives, host the GEM Student Poster Competition. The competition is designed to be feedback oriented, with students being judged over various areas of poster making and oral presentation. Student's ballots will be returned to them during the conference or afterwards by email. You may sign up for the poster competition as late as Student Day (the Sunday of GEM). To sign up for the GEM Student Poster competition, click here.

Below are some criteria students should consider when constructing their poster.

Scientific Criteria

  • Relevance. Through connections to past works, how well does this current study advance, compliment, or supplement previously published works.
  • Methodology. The process in which the study was performed should be well articulated and described.
  • Results/Current Progress. Pending the current state of the project, are results (or future hopeful results) described and relevant to the work. Future work, if any, should be included and described.
  • Oral Articulation. How well articulated was your verbal/oral presentation. Presentation should be cohesive with the poster.
criteria 1 (below average) 3 (average) 5 (above average)
relevance No citations to previous work. No connection to current other work in the field. Presentation demonstrates connection to prior work and impact to larger community. Presentation shows impressive connection to prior work and applications to the field.
methodology Methodology is vague or not mentioned at all. Methodology outlined but some aspects not clear or well described. Comprehensive and thorough description of appropriate methodology is provided.
results There is no mention of results. Results are mentioned but not clearly described or connected to context of research. Results provided with description of impact OR future work.
oral articulation of science Presentation was not well articulated. Presenter was mostly clear and well articulated. Oral presentation of work was clearly worded, harmonious with poster, and insightful.

Visual Presentation

  • Balance. The poster should be filled with information without being considered cluttered. Avoid unnecessary blank spaces.
  • Legibility. Poster should be legible from a normal standing distance (~2-6 feet / 0.6 - 1.8 meters). You may want to avoid font sizes less than 24. Figures should be large enough to be identifiable.
  • Graphics. Figures are formatted clearly. All information should be clearly described (e.g., titles, legends, scales, color bars, etc.). Any expository dialogue pertaining to the figure should be present without appearing cluttered (see Balance).
  • Flow. The poster follows a logical order. Order should be intuitive.
criteria 1 (below average) 3 (average) 5 (above average)
balance Large empty spaces on poster/awkward cramped parts of poster. Fair use of space on poster. All of poster was filled without appearing cramped or difficult to read.
legibility Most of poster illegible, even when close up to poster. Most of poster legible from normal distance. All of poster perfectly legible from normal distance.
graphics Pixelated beyond point of legibility axes not labeled, missing needed information to interpret plots. Graphics fulfill the minimum of expectations with the presenter present, but improvements would be needed to stand alone. Figures are formatted to clearly convey information and have all needed information present to interpret plots.
flow Reading of poster jumps around from side to side. Flow is mostly intuitive with a few jumps. Flow of poster is intuitive.
