2017 GEM Workshop Student Day

Sunday, June 18, 2017

Call for students to give tutorials at GEM Student Day 2017

We've begun planning Student Day (the Sunday before GEM, June 18th) and are now calling for requests to give the student tutorials. The tutorials are meant to be a general/informative introduction to magnetospheric concepts. Talks will be roughly 15 minutes with a few minutes for questions afterwards. Currently we have fourteen planned student tutorials:

1.) The Sun, the solar wind, and the heliosphere

2.) Dayside outer magnetosphere: magnteopause, magnetosheath, cusps

3.) Nightside outer magnetosphere: magnetotail, plasma sheet, cusps

4.) Inner magnetosphere: radiation belts, ring current, plasmasphere

5.) Ionosphere/Thermosphere

6.) Geomagnetic storms

7.) Substorms

8.) Magnetic Reconnection

‪9.) Waves: plasmaspheric hiss, EMIC, chorus, whistler, etc.

10.) Mission overview: MMS, Van Allen Probes, etc.

11.) Global models

12.) Process models

13.) NEW FOCUS GROUP: Magnetotail dipolarization and its effects on the inner magnetosphere

‪14.) NEW FOCUS GROUP: 3D ionospheric electrodynamics and its impact on the Magnetosphere – Ionosphere – Thermosphere coupled system

If you are interested in giving a student tutorial, please send an email application to Suzanne (suzanne.e.smith@nasa.gov) and Anthony (aax75@wildcats.unh.edu) with the following information:

‪(1) Your Name

‪(2) Your institution

‪(3) Topic(s) you would like, with preference clearly stated. The more topics you are willing and able to give, the more of a chance you will have of giving a tutorial.

‪(4) Year in graduate school

‪(5) Motivation for giving a talk

‪Applications for tutorials are due March 1st!

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. 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,

-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.


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.
