Abstract submission is now open for the Autumn MIST Meeting 2009, to be held at the Royal Astronomical Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly on Friday the 27th November 2009. We invite members of the community to submit abstracts for the “Ionospheric Science: present and future” and “MIST Science” sessions.

The meeting will begin at 10 am with talks from 10:30 am. The morning session will begin with an invited talk, followed by contributed talks lasting 20 minutes, including 5 minutes for questions.

Following on from last year, a poster session will take place in the afternoon. Please indicate if you wish to submit an abstract to this session.

Please send abstracts, in the following format, to cfo@mssl.ucl.ac.uk before FRIDAY 30th OCTOBER:

********************Autumn MIST Meeting 2009************************

Royal Astronomical Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly

27th November 2009

SESSIONS:

Ionospheric Science: Present and Future

Convenor: MIST Committee

The ionosphere is the interface between the neutral atmosphere and the surrounding plasma environment. It is key to providing global communications, connections with orbiting spacecraft and is strongly affected by space weather. Through observations with ground-based instrumentation and spacecraft, we have probed both the ionosphere at Earth and other planets and moons in the solar system. For many years the UK has been at the forefront of ionospheric research. In this session we review present work in ionospheric science and consider new ways the UK can continue to study the ionosphere in the future through projects such as EISCAT 3D, SWARM and LOFAR.

We invite submissions from all areas of ionospheric research (ground-based, space-based, M-I coupling, planetary ionospheres) to be presented during the morning session of the Autumn MIST meeting.

MIST Science

Convenor: Chris Owen

The UK MIST community continues to investigate a wide range of physical processes within our solar system using combinations of ground or space based instrumentation and modelling. We invite contributions on any area of MIST science to be presented during the afternoon session of the Autumn MIST meeting.

Autumn MIST meeting, 27th November 2009 at Burlington House, Piccadilly

Dear all,

This years Autumn MIST meeting will be held on 27th November in the lecture theatre at the Royal Astronomical Society at Burlington House,Piccadilly. The meeting will begin at 10 am with talks from 10.30 am.

There will be two sessions; one themed session entitled ?Ionospheric Science: present and future? and one general session (details given below).  We plan to continue with the format of the previous two
years with talks of twenty minutes, including 5 minutes for questions. A poster session will also be available. Abstract submission is not yet open and will be announced shortly

We strongly encourage members of the community to submit abstracts and attend this community meeting. We look forward to seeing you there.
