The papers should cover one or more aspects of Extreme Space Weather. Examples include the prediction of large solar flares; the measurement, analysis, and prediction of fast coronal mass ejections; the response of the magnetosphere to the impact of fast CMEs; the response of the ionosphere and thermosphere toextreme solar activity; and the effect of extreme space weather on humans and technology.
