GEM Focus Groups
GEM Planning Activities
The following proposals have been submitted to the GEM Steering Committee for new Focus Groups starting in Summer 2011:
- Multi-scale Electrodynamics of Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Interactions by Anatoly Streltsov, Joseph Huba, and Kristina Lynch
- Metrics and Validation by Masha Kuznetsova, Aaron Ridley, Tim Guild, Lutz Rastaetter, and Howard Singer
- The Ionospheric Source of Magnetospheric Plasma - Measuring, Modeling and Merging into the GEM GGCM by Bob Schunk, Rick Chappell, and Dan Welling
If more proposals are submitted before the due date, they will be posted here as well.
