Just send e-mail to Jerry Goldstein with your (1) Name, (2) E-mail address, and (3) What you will be doing during the coming year (#3 is optional, but useful for planning). (Note from JG: My e-mail is not posted here, to protect against spammers.

    TOPIC (I): WAVE-PARTICLE INTERACTIONS       

    •         A.         How does the evolving global distribution of cold plasma govern the growth and propagation of waves, specifically those that control energetic particle distributions & dynamics?
    •         B.         How do ambient plasma properties such as temperature, density, and composition influence wave particle interactions?

    TOPIC (II): PLUME DYNAMICS & RECIRCULATION       

    •         A.         How is eroded plasmaspheric material transported throughout the magnetosphere, and how does it evolve?
    •         B.        How do plumes influence the reconnection process, and what are the implications for solar-wind-magnetosphere coupling?
