CEDAR email: SCOSTEP's STP14 Symposium - 2nd Announcement

[Marianna Shepherd]

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
14^th Quadrennial Solar-Terrestrial Physics Symposium
July 9 – 13, 2018 Toronto, Canada

The SCOSTEP Quadrennial Solar-Terrestrial Physics (STP) Symposia are the 
premier venue to update the progress in all aspects of Sun-Earth 
connection. These symposia have a long tradition, starting in 1966. The 
fourteenth symposium (STP14)will follow this tradition and provide an 
excellent opportunity to assess the current status of STP and to discuss 
the scientific accomplishments of the current scientific program 
VarSITI(Variability of the Sun and Its Terrestrial Impact) and look 
forward to SCOSTEP’s future programs.

After a gap of 36 years, STP14 will be held in Canada during July 9-13 
2018 and will be hosted by the Centre for Research in Earth and Space 
Science (CRESS) of York University, Toronto. All relevant information 
can be found at the symposium website: http://www.scostepevents.ca.

The scientific sessions of STP14 will feature the three major chains of 
physical processes operating in the solar-terrestrial domain: (i) the 
mass chain in the form of plasma and particles emitted from the Sun, 
(ii) the electromagnetic radiation chain in the form of irradiance and 
flare emissions, and (iii) the intra-atmospheric chain representing 
energy flow from the Earth into space.In addition, there will be a set 
of special sessions that are of current interest in solar terrestrial 
physics.The Scientific Program will include the following sessions:

*1. Mass Chain *
