The "Fluid" Speaker List

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

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.

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.
