  • Chia-Lin Huang, Comparison of different field models to measured fields at GOES
  • Mike Henderson, Tutorial on Event-Based Modeling (expanded version)
  • Kyungguk Min, New, rapid L* calculation
  • Jun Liang, In-situ calculation of magnetic field-line curvature and its application in M-I mapping
  • Gang Lu, Magnetic field modeling constrained by GOES and THEMIS
  • Rob Redmon, DMSP auroral boundaries
  • Joachim Birn, Tail modeling and ionosphere connection
  • Bob Strangeway, FAST consideration

• Session 2: Joint with Substorms, Late Growth Phase Mapping (Co-chairs: Eric Donovan and Shin Ohtani) Salon D
  • Shin Ohtani, Introduction
  • Toshi Nishimura, Mapping implications of the onset arc location relative to the Birkeland Currrents
  • Jun Liang, The magnetospheric "root" of the onset auroral arc
  • Larry Lyons, Mapping implications of the very thin auroral oval in the late growth phase
  • Jian Yang, Growth phase magnetic field model

• Session 3: CHALLENGE! (Co-chairs: Larry Kepko, Eric, Liz, and Robyn) Salon C
  • We'll present a few ideas on challenge suggestions. CCMC folks are very interested in facilitating a challenge. Robyn will also present a few thoughts on RBSP-centric upcoming mapping opportunities.
  • Event Lists
    • From T. Nishimura, Pulsating Aurora-Chorus point to point examples listed (GRL, 2011).
    • From N. Ganjushkina (Event-based examples, coming soon)
    • From M. Kuznetsova (CCMC examples, coming soon)
    • From E. Spanswick (THEMIS omega band or proton aurora, coming soon)

2011 Mini-GEM Sunday Dec. 4, 2011 from 2:30 to 4:30 PM, in the Franciscan I room.

• We would like to invite community participation in our session, by simply adding input to our survey forms on Mapping Science questions (http://bit.ly/vYuGc5) and Mapping Techniques (http://bit.ly/ucmMLQ). The survey results will be discussed at the mini-GEM and form the basis for planning of activities for the 2012 summer GEM Workshop. They will also be posted online (http://bit.ly/vPLlv9, http://bit.ly/uFw8Uz). We also welcome 1 slide presentations on specific questions or techniques if you wish. V. Papitashvili will give a brief intro to magnetic coordinate systems at the mini-GEM also.

We look forward to a productive discussion and thank you for your input in advance.
