This session will focus on kinetic physics in day- and night-side reconnection.  With the recent launch of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) satellites, there is already a wealth of new data on kinetic scale physics.  Scene setting talks to frame relevant questions and generate discussion will include particle acceleration in dayside reconnection (Allison Jaynes, CU-Boulder) and how global/non-local physics impacts kinetic reconnection physics (John Dorelli, NASA-GSFC), both of which will include discussion of MMS data.  Other speakers on dayside reconnection are (in no particular order) Joo Hwang, Sun Hee Lee, Richard Denton, Jan Egedal, Rishi Mistry, Kris Maynard, and Cong Zhao.  In addition, we will have a discussion of magnetotail stability, with a scene setting talk on recent progress (Slava Merkin, JHU-APL).  Other speakers on magnetotail reconnection are (in no particular order) Yongliang Zhang, Stefan Kiehas, Haoming Liang, Misha Sitnov, Andrei Runov, Joachim Birn, Phil Pritchett, and Tony Lui.

The joint session will focus on the signatures and consequences of magnetic reconnection within the magnetosphere and ionosphere. This will include dayside coupling and ground based signatures of magnetopause reconnection, dayside-nightside coupling (remote observations, modeling, tests for in-situ multi-point observations), and nightside reconnection within the magnetotail in both small transients and large scale reconfiguration of the magnetosphere.  Contributions from ground- and space-based observers as well as from modelers are welcome. The format will include several “scene-setting” speakers as well as contributed talks.  Speakers include:

#John Foster, MIT, scene setting

The "Fluid" Speaker List

Below is a fluid list of speakers in GEM-related sessions provided by Focus Group Leaders. The information here serves as a rough guide for those who wish to know the most updated session plans. Due to the dynamic nature of the Workshop, Focus Groups may continue to revise their agenda as needed.

Poster sessions will be held at Eldorado Grand Ballroom during 16:00-19:00 on Tuesday and Wednesday. Details can be found at the poster page at the GEM Meeting Coordinator Website.

All other information about the 2016 Joint GEM-CEDAR Workshop can be found at the GEM Meeting Coordinator Website and the CEDARwiki 2016 Workshop Page.

[FG] Magnetic Reconnection in the Magnetosphere

Location: SFCC Sweeney C

This session will focus on kinetic physics in day- and night-side reconnection. With the recent launch of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) satellites, there is already a wealth of new data on kinetic scale physics. Scene setting talks to frame relevant questions and generate discussion will include particle acceleration in dayside reconnection (Allison Jaynes, CU-Boulder) and how global/non-local physics impacts kinetic reconnection physics (John Dorelli, NASA-GSFC), both of which will include discussion of MMS data. Other speakers on dayside reconnection are (in no particular order) Joo Hwang, Sun Hee Lee, Richard Denton, Jan Egedal, Rishi Mistry, Kris Maynard, and Cong Zhao. In addition, we will have a discussion of magnetotail stability, with a scene setting talk on recent progress (Slava Merkin, JHU-APL). Other speakers on magnetotail reconnection are (in no particular order) Yongliang Zhang, Stefan Kiehas, Haoming Liang, Misha Sitnov, Andrei Runov, Joachim Birn, Phil Pritchett, and Tony Lui.
