Please join us at the 2009 GEM Mini-Workshop in San Francisco for discussion and planning of a global, system-dynamics study of the coupled solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere system (geospace system).

We welcome brief presentations, viewpoints and ideas on:
- System questions that expose the coupled complexity of the geospace system;
- Related topical studies of the geospace system;and
- Synergistic connections with existing and proposed GEM focus groups and related CEDAR studies.
Email one of us if you would like to make a presentation.

This 1.5-hour session is not a meeting of an approved focus group but a continuation of the discussion started at the 2009 Snowmass Workshop to explore and vet ideas for development of such a group.

Additional information on the proposed focus group's motivation, objectives and provisional direction may be found at http://gem.epss.ucla.edu/mediawikiwiki/index.php/Geospace_System.

Location: San Francisco Marriot Hotel, Room TBD
Date: Sunday, December, 13
Time: 3:30-5:00 PM
