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!
