</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'Calibri'">The deadline for abstract submission to the X COLAGE (Tenth Latin American Conference on Space
Geophysics) has been extended until May 23, 2014. We invite you to participate in this conference that
will be held in Cusco, Peru from September 8 to 12, 2014. The venue for our conference will be the
auditorium Pisac at the convention center of the Provincial Municipality of Cusco. This conference is
organized by the ALAGE (Latin American Association of Space Geophysics) every 3 or 4 years and gathers
scientists and students (not only from Latin America) interested in the study of the geospace system, the
interplanetary medium, the Solar system, as well as their variability, interactions, and their effects on
space weather and climate.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'Calibri'">We encourage you to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations in topics related to Space
Geophysics. In this opportunity, the presentations will be organized in the following sessions:

Session 2. The Heliosphere and Cosmic Rays<br>
Session 3. The Magnetosphere<br>
Session 4. The Ionosphere and upper Atmosphere<br>
Session 5. Space Weather and Space Climate<br>
Session 6. Plasma Physics of Solar System Planets and Exoplanets
Session 7. Nonlinear Processes in Space Geophysics
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'Calibri'">The deadline for abstract submission has been extended until May 23, 2014. For further information

Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP) and the International Space Weather
Initiative (ISWI). This school will take place in the campus of the Universidad de Piura (UdeP) in the city
of Lima, Peru from September 15 to 24, 2014. Graduate students are encouraged to participate in the
school. This will be an excellent learning and enrichment opportunity for students that also attend the X
