CEDAR email: 2021 NASA Heliophysics Summer School - Recruitment Announcement

[Kendra Greb]

Long-Term Solar Activity: Earth and Space Climate

NASA’s Living with a Star Heliophysics Summer School

June 15 - 22, 2021

Deadline For Applications is January 22, 2021



We welcome you to apply for the 2021 Heliophysics Summer School, which will
be held June 15 - 22, 2021 in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. We are seeking
approximately 35 graduate students - from masters through postdoctoral
fellows - to join us this coming summer for a unique professional
experience. 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 2021 Heliophysics Summer School focused on the physics of the
connections between the Sun, the heliosphere, the magnetospheres and the
upper atmospheres of the planets, and its implications for Earth and space
climate. The solar system offers a wide variety of conditions under which
the interaction of objects with a plasma environment can be studied, while
exoplanets and Sun-like stars offer an even wider range of perspectives
with lessons about our local cosmos from distant past to distant future.
The lecture series will include a core set of lectures covering the
fundamentals of heliophysics and the underlying plasma physics. Additional
lectures will include solar cycle predictions, solar spectral irradiance,
and long-term evolution of the geospace climate. The lectures will be
supplemented with hands-on laboratory exercises that explore the 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.



Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the 2021 Heliophysics Summer School may be
held in a virtual format. More information will be provided as available.
