Early Announcement: Chapman Conference “Currents in Geospace and Beyond” in Dubrovnik, Croatia, May 2016

“Currents in Geospace and Beyond”
Location: Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dates: 22-27 May 2016

The emphasis will be on cross-disciplinary science sessions, covering topics such as:

  • Ring currents (e.g., at Earth and at the giant planets, influence of planet­moon interaction)
  • Current sheets (e.g., magnetotail current sheets, coronal current sheets, heliospheric current sheet)
  • Field-aligned currents (incl. M-I coupling at Earth and other planets, corona-photosphere coupling)
  • Small-scale / filamentary currents (e.g., on auroral field lines, in turbulent regions, etc.)
  • Energetics of currents (incl. dynamos, Poynting flux, and dissipation)
  • Current measurement and data analysis techniques
  • Current modeling and simulation techniques
