From the Meeting

Program

The "Global Aspects of Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling" workshop focuses on imaging, in-situ measurement, and theoretical modeling of the following phenomena:

• Properties and dynamics of inner magnetospheric plasmas
• Plasmasphere-ionosphere coupling
• Wave activity in the inner magnetosphere
• Ring current-ionosphere coupling
• Ionosphere-thermosphere coupling
• Auroral and subauroral phenomena

The program will consist of invited tutorial, "systems-level," and "focus" talks, along with contributed talks and posters, that will address the global attributes and behaviors of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere system and examine how this system is influenced or controlled by small-scale and cross-scale processes. A PDF version of the program will be available at this site once the program has been finalized.
