The<br class="">abstract submission site is now open and the deadline for all<br class="">submissions is Wednesday, 3 August 23:59 EDT.<br class=""><br class="">Session ID: 13285<br class="">Session Title: SM010. Geospace Research from Polar Environments<br class="">Section/Focus Group: SPA-Magnetospheric Physics (SM)<br class=""><br class="">Cross-Listing(s):<br class="">AE - Atmospheric and Space Electricity<br class="">SA - SPA-Aeronomy<br class="">SH - SPA-Solar and Heliospheric Physics<br class="">Conveners: Hyomin Kim (NJIT), Andrew Gerrard (NJIT), Mike Ruhoniemi<br class="">(Virginia Tech), Peter Chi (UCLA)<br class=""><br class="">The uniqueness of polar regions for conducting geospace research has<br class="">been acknowledged for decades. This is because instrumentation<br class="">located at high-latitudes allows access to a natural laboratory for<br class="">studying the Earth’s atmosphere, its space environment, and<br class="">solar-generated interplanetary structures. Such research includes the<br class="">study of aurora, induced electrical currents, space weather,<br class="">geomagnetic fields, ionospheric processes, temperature and winds in<br class="">the neutral atmosphere, and atmospheric waves, all of which improve<br class="">our understanding of the mechanisms which couple solar processes to<br class="">the terrestrial environment. This session solicits papers on recent<br class="">advances in space physics and aeronomy focusing on the polar regions.<br class="">Inter-hemispheric and conjugacy studies, as well as studies<br class="">incorporating polar observations in the global context, are also<br class="">welcome due to the advancement in these fields in recent years.</body></html>
