Fifth UK-Ukraine-Spain Meeting on Solar Physics and Space Science (UKUS), Kyiv, Ukraine
Monday 26th August – Friday 30th August 2019

http://pdg.group.shef.ac.uk/Conferences/UKUS_2019/index.html

Important deadlines
Registration deadline – 1 July 2019
Abstract submission deadline – 15 July 2019

The meeting will cover a broad range of aspects of solar physics, space science and solar-terrestrial relations. We aim to include every side of solar and space research, including observations, theory, and numerical modelling. The main idea behind the meeting is to treat the entire solar-terrestrial domain as one system, rather than each region independently.

The participants of the UKUS usually come from different backgrounds, therefore the meeting divided into a number of different topics highlighting a number of areas of expertise.

Our aim is to develop new collaborative projects leading to publications and grant applications. Enough discussion time has been scheduled, to ensure sufficient interaction between the scientists, and allow for the generation of ideas for collaboration.

Tentative Programme:

– Coupling between lower solar atmosphere and solar corona (magnetic field restoration, energetic particles and waves)
– General solar activity in the Sun and heliosphere
– MHD waves – coupling between lower solar atmosphere and solar corona (observations, theory, numerics)
– Multi-scale plasma dynamic processes in the Sun-Earth system
– Dynamic processes in the Earth ionosphere and magnetosphere

Dear Colleagues.

Not enough scintillating science in your life?

This is our FINAL official announcement for our upcoming “Scintillating Science: Cutting-Edge Science Achieved Through the Observations of Radio Scintillation” focussed/specialist workshop to be held in Hermanus (near Cape Town), South Africa, 15-19 July 2019. This is a great location for an exciting multi-faceted topic and time to get an insight into other aspects of scintillation.

Thus, the workshop will cover all aspects of scintillation from the science (including all the domains in which it can be applied, e.g. ionosphere, heliosphere, interstellar) through to engineering concepts/requirements including all aspects of its theory/modelling. More-detailed themes are being updated on the workshop website before the end of this week. In addition, we are in the process of finalising our invited and scene-setting speakers.

We have EXTENDED the late registration to Friday 14th June 2019 at 16:00UT and also the abstract registration to the same. All the workshop information and links to the registration and abstract submission forms can be found on the workshop website here: https://tinyurl.com/scintillate-july along with further information about the scope of the workshop and local information.

Best wishes on behalf of the workshop SOC and LOC,

We invite submissions for oral presentations and posters to Session 7 (Space Weather Instrumentation) at European Space Weather Week 2019.

 

ESWW16 Session 7 – Space Weather Instrumentation

Space weather research, forecasting and operations rely on measurements and observations generated by specialized sensors and instrumentation. The purpose of this session is to provide a forum dedicated to Space Weather Instrumentation questions and concepts. Topics to be covered include:

• Emerging requirements for Space Weather Instrumentation, data and resources;
• Ground-based Space Weather Instruments and networks (including magnetometers, VLF receivers, riometers, ionosondes and neutron monitors);
• Balloon and aircraft-based Space Weather Instruments;
• Space-based in-situ sensors measuring cause (particles and fields) and effect (internal / surface charging, solar cell degradation etc);
• Space-based remote-sensing instruments (EUV imagers, coronagraphs, etc); All contributions related to these topics are welcome.

 

Jackie Davies (RAL UKRI STFC); Keith Ryden (Univ. of Surrey); Chris Turbitt (BGS)

 

Important information:

European Space Weather Week runs from 18 to 22 November 2019 in Belgium – http://www.stce.be/esww2019/ – Abstract submission deadline: 9 June 2019 – Later poster submission possible until 10 October 2019… continue to the full article

The 1st conference on Machine Learning in Heliophysics (ML-Helio) will be held on 16 – 20 September in Amsterdam (The Netherlands).
It will bring together a cross-disciplinary research community: physicists in solar, heliospheric, magnetospheric, and aeronomy fields as well as computer and data scientists.

Early-bird registration is now OPEN (deadline: May 31st)

We are currently accepting applications for early-career travel grants (deadline: May 19th).

For further information, please look at the conference website: bit.ly/ml-helio19

We strongly advice to book your accommodation in advance, since Amsterdam is always in season.

For any question, please contact enrico.camporeale@noaa.gov

Looking forward to meet you in Amsterdam!
