2012 GEM Monday, Tuesday, Thursday June 18 - 20, 2012 from 3:30 to 5:00 PM Goal/Overview Summary

  • 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.
