From: Lidong Xia ( xld@sdu.edu.cn)
The Fourteenth International Solar Wind Conference will be held for the first time ever in China, from 22 to 26 June 2015, at Weihai in the Shandong province. It will be jointly organized by the School of Earth and Space Sciences of Peking University and the newly-established Institute of Space Sciences of Shandong University. The meeting will take place in the Space Science Building of Shandong University, a venue located within walking distance to the beautiful Weihai International Bathing Beach, one of the most popular scenic areas of northern China.
The conference will cover all aspects of solar wind physics, with invited reviews and contributed papers that examine the current research and outline the future research in all the relevant solar wind fields. In particular, the Fourteenth International Solar Wind Conference will comprise the following sessions:
1. Coronal heating, the solar wind origin and acceleration and relevant observations of the Sun.
2. Dynamical evolution and physical processes, including structures, waves and turbulences, in the Solar Wind throughout the heliosphere
3. Interaction of the Solar Wind with Solar System Objects and Dust
4. Interaction of the Solar Wind with the Interstellar Medium and the Heliospheric Boundaries
5. Suprathermal and Energetic Particles at the Sun, in the Solar Wind and at Heliospheric Boundaries
6. Status and Prospects of Current and Future Solar Wind and Heliospheric Missions including new advances in instrumentation.
