CEDAR email: Call for AGU abstracts on the teaching of space physics and heliophysics

[Gross, Nicholas]

Below is the session abstract for the AGU Fall Meeting on curricular and support materials for teaching space physics to undergraduate or graduate students in a stand-alone class, a full program, and summer workshop, or through some other venue.  We would like to call for submitted papers from various sources that support the teaching heliophysics, space physics and aeronomy, and related topics including:

  *   programs and departments
  *   individual instructors teaching stand alone courses
  *   organizers of summer schools
  *   textbook authors and materials developers
  *   developers of simulations that can be used in teaching

Please consider submitting an abstract to this session and contributing to the broader discussion of the teaching space physics.  Note that this session is an “education” section, and does not count as a scientific abstract.

ED028 - Forum on University Curricula and Teaching Materials for Space Physics and Heliophysics
Primary Convener: Nicholas Gross, Boston University
Co-Conveners:
Mike Liemohn, University of Michigan
Steven Cranmer, University of Colorado
Madhulika Guhathakurta, NASA Headquarters

The last decade has seen extensive development of curricula in space physics and heliophysics, covering topics in solar physics, the heliosphere, geospace, planetary magnetospheres, planetary ionosphere-thermosphere, and space weather. These curricula include intense workshops and summer schools, undergraduate majors or certifications, and curricula for graduate studies. Additionally, a number of resources have become available including books, websites, and computer simulations.  Thus, we believe it is timely to hold a session to showcase these resources and current practices. The goals of this session include: (1) identifying populations that participate in space physics curricula and highlighting the learning goals for these populations, (2) sharing available teaching materials and best-practices, and (3) sharing evaluation results where appropriate. We seek abstracts related to all types of space physics (and space weather) curricula and resources, including undergraduate or graduate course materials, degree programs, summer schools, workshops, textbooks, and online resources.
