<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Colleagues,</div><div><br></div><div> We would like to draw your attention to the following announcement:</div><div><br></div><div>CALL FOR PAPERS: 2017 URSI National Radio Science Meeting</div><div>January 4-6, 2017</div><div>Commission G special session: "New Horizons in Active and Passive Radio Techniques for Geospace Remote Sensing"</div><div>Organizers:</div><div> Phil Erickson (G) (<a href="mailto:pje@haystack.mit.edu">pje@haystack.mit.edu</a>)</div><div> Julio Urbina (G) (<a href="mailto:jvu1@psu.edu">jvu1@psu.edu</a>)</div><div><br></div><div>This session will cover all aspects of measurement techniques for plasma parameter determinations in the space environment. Papers are solicited on a broad range of subjects related to the use of radio waves for passive and active remote sensing of geospace plasmas, including ground based and space based platforms. Appropriate topics include experimental and data analysis developments and novel techniques involving inversion, imaging, interferometry, optimal transmission waveforms, and related subjects. We especially encourage papers addressing those applications, concepts, and architectures with transformative potential for remote sensing.</div><div><br></div><div>The DEADLINE for online submission of abstracts is SEPTEMBER 19, 2016.</div><div><br></div><div>General Information on the URSI meeting can be found at:</div><div><a href="http://www.nrsmboulder.org/">http://www.nrsmboulder.org/</a></div><div><br></div><div>The organizers of this meeting require the use of electronic submissions. If you have any questions on abstracts or the technical program, please direct them to the USNC-URSI Secretary, Dr. Sembiam Rengarajan (<a href="mailto:srengarajan@csun.edu">srengarajan@csun.edu</a>). Abstracts must have a minimum of 250 words. More information about USNC-URSI is available at</div><div><a href="http://www.usnc-ursi.org">http://www.usnc-ursi.org</a></div><div><br></div><div>We strongly encourage you to have students submit abstracts and attend the meeting. There is travel support available (up to $600) for students presenting first author papers. Students are also encouraged to enter the student paper competition, which requires full-length papers and awards a plenary session talk and cash prizes to the finalists.</div><div><br></div><div>Please feel free to distribute this note to your colleagues who may be interested in presenting.</div><div><br></div><div>We look forward to seeing you in Boulder next January!</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Phil Erickson, MIT Haystack Observatory</div><div>Julio Urbina, Pennsylvania State University</div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">----</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">Philip Erickson, Ph.D.</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">Atmospheric Sciences Group</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">MIT Haystack Observatory</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">Westford, MA 01886 USA</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal"><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">email: </span><a href="mailto:pje@haystack.mit.edu" style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal" target="_blank">pje@haystack.mit.edu</a><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">WWW: </span><a href="http://www.haystack.mit.edu/" style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal" target="_blank">http://www.haystack.mit.edu</a><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">voice: +1 781 981 5769</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">fax: +1 781 981 5766</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal"><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">Public key: </span><a href="http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x54878872" style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal" target="_blank">http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x54878872</a><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal"></div></div></div>
