Extra Time to Finalize Honors & Recognition Nominations

From: Geoffrey Reeves (geoff at reevesresearch.org)

I learned on the recent AGU Leadership call, that the April 1 deadline for submitting final nomination packages for Honors & Recognition is "flexible". AGU is not currently planning on officially extending the deadline but they will likely approve requests to submit "late" nomination packages. Currently they are looking at April 15 as the new deadline. Since April 1 is next week I wanted to get the word out as quickly as possible. 

Please send requests for extension to:

International Geospace Systems Program (IGSP) Community Forum

From: Larry Kepko (larry.kepko at nasa.gov)

We invite the community to attend a Community Forum hosted by the COSPAR Task Group on establishing an International Geospace System Program (TGIGSP), to be held Thursday April 7th at 11 am Eastern. Dial-in details are below.

The COSPAR TGIGSP was formed in late 2021 to develop a COSPAR scientific roadmap to outline a path towards a holistic study of Earth’s magnetosphere, overcoming the limitations of our current ad hoc approach. It is now widely recognized that Earth’s magnetosphere is a “System of Systems”, with distinct processes in the various regions, coupled within and across through a cascade of scales all coupled together. Studying the flow of mass, momentum, and energy through this System of Systems requires not just coordinated measurements of the system pieces, but measurements of the mesoscales (~1-3 RE) that tie the scales together. The mesoscales represent the vast region between the microscales (< 1RE down to electron scales) that can be studied with our fleet of in situ spacecraft and the global, which are studied through statistical and average studies or teased from 2D ionospheric observations. This cross-scale, system science currently relies on ad-hoc and chance alignments of largely uncoordinated missions. Therefore, while great progress has been made on targeted mission science objectives, a broader, cohesive, designed program to study the entire systems of systems has potential to revolutionize our understanding in ways not possible today. 

The highly successful International Solar Terrestrial Physics Program (ISTP) program, though revolutionary for its time, provided a low-fidelity systems view and was unable to study geospace at these critical scales. With the revelation that mesoscale dynamics (~1-3 RE in scale) are both ubiquitous and central to magnetospheric dynamics, the science questions are dictating that we need a large undertaking to answer major outstanding questions of how the magnetosphere responds to solar wind driving. Such an undertaking would involve multiple constellations of spacecraft in key regions to resolve the “missing middle” of the mesoscales, combined with remote imaging measurements, ground-based measurements, and advanced numerical modeling, all coordinated and working in concert to study Geospace holistically, as a system, at the scale sizes that we now know are driving the overall dynamics. It would move beyond the limited view afforded by ISTP and the current ad hoc Heliophysics System Observatory to provide critically needed understanding of our dynamic space environment.

The small-satellite revolution and emergence of inexpensive launch vehicles has brought us to a confluence where the scientific need for coordinated multipoint measurements meets our technological implementation capability. The purpose of the TGIGSP is to develop this concept of a geospace systems program with comprehensive coverage at the mesoscales. Our group will refine the open scientific questions, draft possible observation scenarios, and engage in discussions with researchers and space agency representatives about possible implementation strategies tied to understanding mass, momentum, and energy transport through Geospace, with an emphasis on the mesoscales. The purpose of the community forum is to start engagement with the broader scientific community on these topics, and we hope to see you there.

MEETING: Registration Open for RAS Meeting on Space Weather Prediction: Instruments, Modelling and Machine-Learning, London, UK, April 22, 2022 

From: Ravindra Desai, Siegfried Gonzi, Jackie Davies, Matthew Lang (ravindra.desai at imperial.ac.uk)

We have opened registration for the upcoming Royal Astronomical Society Specialist Discussion Meeting:  “Future Solar and Heliospheric Assets for Space Weather Prediction: Instruments, Modelling and Machine-Learning” which will take place virtually on Friday, 22nd April, 2022.   

Registration cost is £5 and free for Fellows of the RAS.

Meeting Abstract 
The UK has world leading heliophysics and space weather programmes with, for example, major involvement in operating space missions such as SOHO, STEREO and Solar Orbiter, ground-based facilities such as BISON and LOFAR, and the creation of the MET Office Space Weather Operations Centre. Notably, currently under development, is the (formerly known as Lagrange) ESA Vigil  operational space weather mission to the Lagrange L5 point in which the UK has invested heavily via ESA’s Space Safety Programme. In tandem with further L1 missions under development, Vigil will underpin a wave of new research opportunities aimed at increasing predictive capabilities for space weather forecasting.  
As we enter the era of satellite mega-constellations and domestic rocket launches, and with the NASA/ESA Lunar Gateway Space Station due to be stationed outside the protective influence of the Earth’s magnetic field, there is a strong need to better understand the fundamental link between solar and interplanetary space weather and the near-Earth environment. As we observe increasing solar activity in Solar Cycle 25, a community wide effort is required to coordinate and synergise current and future developments. 
We invite contributions from academic and space weather communities on all aspects of solar- and helio-physics starting from the solar surface, extending out through the solar corona, into the solar wind, and out to Earth’s orbit and beyond. The meeting will focus on three key themes: 

1. Space-, ground-based and in-situ observations of the photosphere, corona and inner heliosphere; 
2. Physical models which solve the relevant physics to make best use of sparse observations in space and to fill gaps where observations are unavailable; and 
3. Data assimilation and machine learning techniques which are now understood to be fundamental for many regimes of space weather forecasting.  

Abstract submission

Abstract submission is now open with a deadline of Thursday 31st March: https://forms.office.com/r/90j8kzeBh3

ISR Summer School

From: Shikha Raizada (shikha at naic.edu)

The 2022 Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) Summer School will be held in-person only at Boston University between July 17-22. The summer school’s goal is to train students in the theory and concepts of incoherent scatter radar, and allows for hands-on opportunities to design and run experiments at ISR facilities.  This year’s school will focus on mid-latitude / subauroral observations using the Millstone Hill ISR, operated by MIT Haystack Observatory as part of the NSF supported Millstone Hill Geospace Facility.  ISRs are the most powerful ground based tools for ionospheric remote sensing with high temporal and altitudinal resolution.  ISR data sets include measurements of electron density, electron and ion temperatures, and plasma drifts, with the possibility of further derived parameters. More details about school lectures and the application procedure can be found at the following web site:
https://amisr.com/school

The overall aim of the ISR school is to provide a ‘hands-on’ learning experience in small groups, and includes substantial interactions with instructors. 
We encourage graduate/advanced undergraduate students to apply for the school. Those candidates who are selected for the 2022 ISR summer school and are enrolled at U.S. Universities/institutions will receive travel support and accommodation to attend this event. Self-funded students from other countries are welcome to apply as well.  
The 2022 ISR summer school is funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Geospace Facilities Program within the Geosciences Directorate, and is organized by the University of Central Florida. 
The deadline for application submission is April 20, 2022.
Notice of acceptance will be sent to participants by May 1, 2022.

Special Issue of Frontiers on the topic of “Circulation of Heavy Ions and Their Role in Regulating the Near-Earth Plasma Dynamics”

From: Muhammad Fraz Bashir, Elena Kronberg and Lunjin Chen

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to a special issue in Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences on the topic of “Circulation of Heavy Ions and Their Role in Regulating the Near-Earth Plasma Dynamics” 
Topic Weblink: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/33505/circulation-of-heavy-ions-and-their-role-in-regulating-the-near-earth-plasma-dynamics

Abstract Submission Deadline: 21 April 2022
Manuscript Submission Deadline: 21 June 2022

We would highly appreciate original research papers, review papers and perspective papers looking into the future of this research area. The special issue papers can be submitted either to “Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Physics” or to “Frontiers in Physics”. 

About the research topic:
The presence of heavy ions in the near-Earth environment has a profound impact on the global magnetosphere-ionosphere (M-I) structure and dynamics. Knowledge of the ion composition and their sources and sinks throughout the M-I system is essential to study their role in regulating various magnetospheric processes. Observational, theoretical, and modeling studies have the potential to advance our understanding of the circulation of heavy ions based on separating the ionospheric and solar wind sources of lower (He+, N+, O+, He+2 and O+2) and higher (C+n, N+n, O+n and Fe+n with n>2) charge states, and the molecular ions (NO+, N2+, and O2+). This Research Topic seeks contributions in the fields of solar, ionospheric, and magnetospheric physics to determine the spatial distribution of heavy ions in response to the different solar and geomagnetic conditions, and study their effects on waves properties and associated particle loss and energization mechanisms.

The recent sessions for the consecutive two years in American Geophysical Union Fall meetings (2020 and 2021) on the topic of “Circulation of Heavy Ions and Their Role in Regulating the Near-Earth Plasma Dynamics" inspired new work on the outstanding problems caused by a lack of understanding of the circulation of heavy-ions and their impacts on near-Earth dynamics. This Research Topic will collect reports of that new work and will stimulate the formation of author teams to write Review articles on what is known and what needs to be known. Commentaries assessing the present situation and guiding the research field into the future will be solicited from the community. Methods articles describing new measurement techniques and new spaceflight mission concepts will be welcomed.

This Research Topic will look for Original Research papers, General Commentaries, and Review articles focusing on:
(1) statistical surveys of existing data sets to obtain information about the properties, evolution, and sources of heavy-ions and controlling factors for heavy-ions circulation in the magnetosphere-ionospheric system;
(2) studies that quantify effects of heavy-ions in altering the wave-particle interaction to better understand the magnetospheric mechanisms related to wave dynamics;
(3) theoretical models, numerical simulations, and data-analysis studies of the impact of heavy-ions in regulating the near-Earth dynamics;
(4) measurement concepts for future space-flight instrumentation that can measure the properties of the heavy-ions in near-Earth plasma environment;
(5) new mission concepts focusing on science that would be enabled by measurements of heavy-ions, especially the minor ions.

Authors wishing to submit Reviews or Mini Reviews might coordinate their topics with the Topic Editors.
