The IRIS-4 workshop will be hosted by the High Altitude Observatory (HAO) and held at NCAR’s Foothills Lab 2 Building in Boulder, CO, USA during the week of May 18–22, 2015.

NASA’s Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) was launched in June 2013 and has been providing high resolution spectra and images from the photosphere, chromosphere, transition region and corona since July 2013.

This workshop has two main goals:
1. facilitate use and analysis of IRIS-related data by the broader community through tutorials on IRIS-related topics such as the ins-and-outs of IRIS data analysis, optically thick radiative transfer, IRIS-related MHD simulations, and flare-related simulations (using Radyn);

2. present and discuss IRIS-related science results (oral and poster contributions welcomed). There will be invited review talks on coupling between different regions in the atmosphere (Joten Okamoto), chromospheric and transition region dynamics (Luc Rouppe van der Voort), chromospheric heating (Mats Carlsson), coronal science with IRIS (Paola Testa), flares (Lyndsay Fletcher) and coordinated observations with IRIS (Paul Boerner).

Registration fees are low, and financial support is available (see webpage below).
