Abstracts are being accepted for the IAGA Division II session "Wave and Particle Dynamics in the Radiation Belts and Ring Current," to be held at the August 27-September 1, 2017 Joint IAPSO-IAMAS-IAGA Assembly in Cape Town, South Africa.

Recent progress in the understanding of radiation-belt energization and loss processes, as well as ring-current build-up and decay, has shown that the system is highly variable, and relies on a variety of different waves and other transient phenomena to couple the dynamic processes occurring in the inner magnetosphere. Multiple energization and loss process occur simultaneously, over a variety of spatial scales ranging from microscopic wave-particle interactions, to global-scale interactions, and a variety of temporal scales, from milliseconds to hours.

In this symposium, we will focus on the dynamical behaviour of radiation-belt and ring-current particles, the global variability and coupling to the inner magnetosphere, and the nature and spatiotemporal distribution of the underlying waves that control this behaviour.

More information about the meeting can be found at http://www.iapso-iamas-iaga2017.com/.   Abstracts may be submitted through March 12, 2017 at http://www.iapso-iamas-iaga2017.com/index.php/abstract-submission.
