CEDAR email: 2020 NASA Heliophysics Summer School - Recruitment Announcement

[Kendra Greb]

Explosive Space Weather Events and their Impacts

NASA’s Living with a Star Heliophysics Summer School

July 14 - 21, 2020

Boulder, CO

Application Deadline: February 21, 2020



We welcome you to apply for the 2020 Heliophysics Summer School to be held
in beautiful Boulder, CO. We are seeking advanced graduate students, as
well as post doctoral students, who have completed some research in the
area of space physics or related fields. You will learn about the exciting
science of heliophysics as a broad, coherent discipline that reaches in
space from the Earth’s troposphere to the depths of the Sun, and in time
from the formation of the solar system to the distant future.



The 2020 Summer School will focus on the foundations of Heliophysics with
particular focus on transient energetic events such as solar flares,
coronal mass ejections, and geomagnetic storms.  The lecture series will
include a core set of lectures covering the fundamentals of heliophysics
and lectures devoted to the physics underlying explosive events. Additional
lectures will cover the impacts these events have on life and technology,
how these effects might be mitigated, and how the events might be
forecast.  The lectures will be supplemented with hands-on laboratory
exercises that explore the fundamentals Sun-Earth system. Both lectures and
laboratories will draw on a set of 5 textbooks developed over previous
years of the summer school. The aim of the summer school is to provide
students with the background and understanding they need to do research and
make discoveries about the interconnected Heliophysics system in their
professional careers.
