<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px;">Dear Colleagues in meteor science,<br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px;">We invite you to attend the URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium in Beijing between 16 and 23 August 2014. <br>
Full details are at <a href="http://www.chinaursigass.com/">http://www.chinaursigass.com/</a><br>
<br>
Note the abstract deadline of 15 February 2014, and the early registration deadline of 14 May 2014.</div>

<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px;">GH03: The Geospace Environment and Meteors </div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px;">Conveners: <b>S. Close (G), Meers Oppenheim (H), Pellinen-Wannberg Asta</b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(4, 51, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b><a href="mailto:sigridc@stanford.edu">sigridc@stanford.edu</a>, </b></span><b><a href="mailto:meerso@bu.edu">meerso@bu.edu</a></b><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b>, </b></span><b><a href="mailto:asta.pellinen-wannberg@irf.se">asta.pellinen-wannberg@irf.se</a></b></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">This session will cover advances in the detection, interaction, and characterization of meteors</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">in the near-Earth space environment. Topics of interest include meteor detection, modeling of</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">meteoroid interactions with the atmosphere, and plasmas generated from hypervelocity impacts of both</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">meteoroids and orbital debris. This session will also address issues relating to global meteoroid flux,</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">their composition and density, the influence of meteors on E-region electrodynamics, and the</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">application of meteor measurements to characterize the atmosphere. Papers that examine the radio</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">science and plasma instability issues associated with meteors are encouraged.</div>
</div>

See you in Beijing
