<div class="">The magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere respond to variability in the solar wind as a coherently integrated system. The most direct coupling occurs at high geomagnetic latitudes. This session seeks to apply a system science approach
to Earth’s open magnetic field regions and its dynamic boundaries. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Recent years have witnessed a rapid expansion of ground- and space-based sensors targeting the geomagnetic polar regions. These measurements are supported by an increasingly capable suite of models and assimilation strategies. Efforts to reconcile
ground- and space-based perspectives at high space-time resolution have called into question our understanding in four interrelated areas: </div>
<div class="">(1) High-latitude reconnection and plasma flows, </div>
<div class="">(2) mass transport and ion outflow, </div>
<div class="">(3) ionospheric variability and energy dissipation, </div>
<div class="">(4) ionospheric destabilization and turbulence.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This grand-challenge workshop provides a forum for investigators interested in the physics of Earth’s geomagnetic polar regions. The session format will consist of clusters of short presentations interspersed with open discussion. Please email
the conveners if you have a <i class="">brief</i> topic or result you’d like to share. Current discussion leaders (tentative):</div>
