PUNCH (Polarimeter to UNify the Corona and Heliosphere) is designed to study the Sun's outer corona and the space weather of the entire inner heliosphere as a unified system. Our multi-institutional public engagement team aligns all of its activities and events with an Ancient & Modern Sun-watching theme to make NASA heliophysics more personally and culturally relevant to a broader diversity of people. The theme portrays NASA's exploration of the Sun as a natural extension of ancient Sun-watching as exemplified in Chaco Canyon and all over the world. Our activities are developed and field-tested via collaborations with mission team members, blind and low vision learners, Native and Hispanic youth and families, and girls in STEM. These collaborations have led us to develop multi-sensory, multicultural, arts-integrated activities of benefit to all people. Dr. Morrow's seminar shares a subset of these activities, emphasizing those that can be used in your eclipse event, whether celebrating with your family or contributing to a larger event. These activities are effective ways to engage participants whether you are on or off the path of totality or for any event featuring the Sun, whether or not an eclipse is in play.

With kind regards, Graciela Molina on behalf of the ISWI Seminar Committee *********************************************** *Title:* NASA?s Geospace Dynamics Constellation: Exploring our Connected Atmosphere *Speaker:* Dr Doug Rowland *Abstract:* The world relies on satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) for a wide range of commercial, civil space, and defense applications. Though LEO was one of the first space environments studied from the dawn of the space age, increased usage of this region has highlighted large gaps in our understanding and predictive capability. For example, following a SpaceX launch of 49 Starlink satellites in February 2022, 38 of those satellites were lost to unexpectedly high atmospheric drag that ultimately caused them to deorbit. In this region, Earth?s atmophere extends to form a tenuous envelope of electrically neutral gas called the thermosphere, and its electrically conductive counterpart, the ionosphere. These two layers of the upper atmosphere coexist over the same altitude range, and this has dramatic consequences for the variability of the LEO space environment. The coupled plasma-gas system responds to electrodynamic, dynamical, and chemical/photochemical forcing, at a range of spatial scales from sub-kilometer to global and time scales from seconds to decades. NASA plans to develop the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC), a mission within the Heliophysics Living With a Star Program, as a strategic mission that will directly probe the causes of variability in the ionosphere/thermosphere, leading ultimately to a better understanding and predictive capability for the variability in this region. GDC consists of six identical spacecraft, equipped with instrumentation to measure all aspects of the local space environment, including the properties of the ionosphere and thermosphere and the electric and magnetic fields and energetic charged particles that serve as major energy inputs. GDC?s satellites will orbit near 350-400 km altitude, at high inclination, to provide the first-ever comprehensive, global view of the LEO space environment?s variability and the casuses of that variability, on all critical spatiotemporal scales. GDC is currently in formulation, with launch anticipated in the first part of the next decade. In this talk, I will present GDC?s science motivation, planned measurement and sampling strategy.

Antarctic measurements have been crucial in shaping our understanding of the dynamics of the polar atmosphere and ionosphere, their connections with the magnetosphere and solar wind, and the causes and consequences of north-south hemisphere asymmetries in the coupled system. Recent studies suggest that more measurements are needed in this sparsely sampled region, not less. However, many Antarctic geospace measurements that the space weather research community has come to rely on (e.g., southern hemisphere TEC accessed via MADRIGAL, magnetic field accessed via SuperMAG) are increasingly under threat for decommissioning and removal ( https://www.science.org/content/article/u-s-cancels-or-curtails-half-its-antarctic-research-projects), and support for future experiments is very uncertain ( https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2023/nsf23117/nsf23117.jsp?org=NSF). We encourage users of Antarctic measurements to attend this workshop, including modelers/data assimilators, as a major goal is to break down barriers between the user community and instrument operators to coordinate measurement campaigns that best address the user community needs. The workshop will culminate in a report to NSF, with objectives including: (1) identification of high level geospace/space weather research goals in the next 10 years, (2) near-term plans for instrument deployments, (3) identification of new collaborations (including interdisciplinary collaborations across the geosciences), (4) coordination to advocate for polar measurement projects that span multiple countries/programs. There is NO registration fee for the workshop and a few travel supports available for students and early-career researchers. We encourage all to register before Oct 8th, 2023, especially for in-person participants.

Though LEO was one of the first space environments studied from the dawn of the space age, increased usage of this region has highlighted large gaps in our understanding and predictive capability. For example, following a SpaceX launch of 49 Starlink satellites in February 2022, 38 of those satellites were lost to unexpectedly high atmospheric drag that ultimately caused them to deorbit. In this region, Earth?s atmophere extends to form a tenuous envelope of electrically neutral gas called the thermosphere, and its electrically conductive counterpart, the ionosphere. These two layers of the upper atmosphere coexist over the same altitude range, and this has dramatic consequences for the variability of the LEO space environment. The coupled plasma-gas system responds to electrodynamic, dynamical, and chemical/photochemical forcing, at a range of spatial scales from sub-kilometer to global and time scales from seconds to decades. NASA plans to develop the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC), a mission within the Heliophysics Living With a Star Program, as a strategic mission that will directly probe the causes of variability in the ionosphere/thermosphere, leading ultimately to a better understanding and predictive capability for the variability in this region. GDC consists of six identical spacecraft, equipped with instrumentation to measure all aspects of the local space environment, including the properties of the ionosphere and thermosphere and the electric and magnetic fields and energetic charged particles that serve as major energy inputs. GDC?s satellites will orbit near 350-400 km altitude, at high inclination, to provide the first-ever comprehensive, global view of the LEO space environment?s variability and the casuses of that variability, on all critical spatiotemporal scales. GDC is currently in formulation, with launch anticipated in the first part of the next decade. In this talk, I will present GDC?s science motivation, planned measurement and sampling strategy. ------------------------------------------- *Dra.
