Dr. Wickwar was an early pioneer in Aeronomy and Space Physics, which is a field devoted to the scientific study of the physics and chemistry of the upper atmosphere of the Earth and other planets. Dr. Wickwar moved to Logan in 1988 to join the faculty of USU to take advantage of the low level of light pollution in Northern Utah's Cache Valley. Here he would create a unique, laser- based upper atmospheric observatory to study the complex conditions of the Earth's atmosphere located at the edge of geospace above 100 km. One of Dr. Wickwar's major contributions early in his career to the field of aeronomy was to realize and encourage through both his leadership and example the merits of collaborative investigations that could be accomplished through the combination of both radar and optical measurements to achieve a broader perspective on the atmospheric phenomena being studied. At USU, Dr. Wickwar taught graduate courses in optics and aeronomy while serving over many years as a thesis advisor for multiple graduate students. He has been the principal investigator on numerous grants involving studies of the upper atmosphere employing lidar (light detecting and ranging) systems, photometers, Fabry-Perot interferometry, and incoherent-scatter (IS) radar. From 1973 to 1988, Dr. Wickwar was employed at SRI International in Menlo Park, California, where he was co-principal investigator of the Sondrestrom, Greenland based IS radar and principal investigator on numerous IS radar studies. Dr. Wickwar's field of IS aeronomy was created in the wake of the US-USSR nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963, with the US wanting to better understand the possible effects of high altitude nuclear detonations on long-range communications. By using the recently created IS radar systems, scientists were able for the first time to observe the ionospheric physics associated with high altitude detonations. The thinking at the time was that if the US or others were to ever repeat the high altitude nuclear tests or, more ominously, in the event of a nuclear war, an IS radar (with the capability of measuring plasma densities, temperatures, and motions) would be a much better diagnostic of the fundamental processes that produced the observed effects on communications. Now, modern applications of these technologies are employed to better understand global climate changes, among other natural phenomena. Dr. Wickwar was an expert in esoteric scientific innovations and discoveries, but he was also thoroughly at ease with and enjoyed interacting with non-science focused students while teaching two beloved introduction to sciences courses for USU undergraduate students. Born in New London, Connecticut, in 1943, Dr. Wickwar's early years were spent in New York City, where his British-born father William Hardy Wickwar worked at the United Nations and mother Margaret Wickwar as a social worker and later a museum docent. Dr. Wickwar's formative years were spent in Princeton, New Jersey, where as a young man he occasionally encountered Albert Einstein, who was an early inspiration for Dr. Wickwar's lifetime love of physics. Dr. Wickwar's father's work as an international civil servant at one point took Dr. Wickwar to Lebanon, where he learned French at the Jesuit School of Beirut. Upon returning to the US, he attended Pomfret School in Connecticut, and later gained admission to Harvard College's Class of 1965 where he majored in Physics. He received a PhD in Space Physics at Rice University in 1971 under the mentorship of Dr. William E. Gordon, who was one of the creators of the Arecibo IS radar in Puerto Rico. Dr. Wickwar also performed postdoctoral research at Yale University. Dr. Wickwar maintained that from an early age his parents nurtured his many hobbies, including photography, which became a lifetime passion. His interest in photography served as his early introduction to optics, the underlying basis for the complex lidar and other optics-based systems he employed in his academic and research studies. At the time of his death, Dr. Wickwar was one of the principal investigators in a large multi-university collaborative grant from the Defense Advanced Research Program Agency (DARPA) to employ Dr. Wickwar's lidar system to collect detailed density and temperature measurements from the mesopause region - the junction between Earth's upper atmosphere and space. Dr. Wickwar enjoyed wonderful collegial relations with many aeronomy scientists around the world. His passion and strong interest in aeronomy and space physics research will be very much missed by friends and colleagues.

From solar flares to eruptions and injection of solar material of all sorts (jets, CMEs, particle acceleration), our star?s activity shapes the ever-changing conditions of the heliosphere. While these space weather events originate at the Sun, their origins are varied: from active regions to coronal holes, to more quiescent regions of the Sun (e.g. polar crown prominences, stealth CMEs). This variety makes understanding the succession of processes leading to these events difficult. Over the past decades, ground and space solar observatories and the variety of observations available (from imaging to plasma and particle diagnostics and magnetic field measurements) have helped us refine models of energy build-up and release. In the present talk, I will review some of the key aspects that have helped us develop models of space weather inducing events such as eruptive flares and CMEs, and remaining questions that still need to be addressed. I will also show how recent observations from spacecraft and ground-based observatories provide an unprecedented wealth of data that help us in understanding these phenomena. Finally, I will overview how the Solar Orbiter mission observing programs can help, especially in coordination with other infrastructures, to tackle the challenges of linking the origins of space weather to its effect in the heliosphere.

We are interested in the systematic response of the thermosphere and mesosphere to (1) long- and short-term variations in radiative forcing (solar and terrestrial) and in solar wind and magnetospheric energy inputs, (2) anthropogenic composition changes, and (3) the climate and meteorology of the lower atmosphere. This research involves thorough statistical analysis of large and diverse data sets, characterization of significant geophysical variations and mutual biases among the data sets, development of comprehensive empirical models with appropriate physical constraints, assimilation of the data into the models, validation of the models, and comparison with first-principles physics models. A key aspect of the program is the continued development of NRLMSIS, the most comprehensive empirical model of atmospheric temperature and composition and HWM, the only global empirical model of atmospheric winds. These models are used extensively by the scientific and engineering communities in diverse applications such as atmospheric remote sensing, prediction of atmospheric drag on satellites, atmospheric gravity wave research, and ionospheric modeling.

Thankfully no one was hurt. However, some of the equipment required to operate the Resolute Bay Incoherent Scatter Radars (ISRs)*, two diesel generators powering the site, and various auxiliary instruments hosted by the observatory were lost. Fortunately, the ISR faces and diesel generators used to power the ISRs do not appear to have been impacted by the fire. Consequently, the Resolute Bay ISRs will be offline until the site power is restored and the destroyed radar equipment is replaced. This is an evolving situation and we will be updating the community as we know more about the timeline for restoration both for the ISR capability and observatory instruments. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. *The Resolute Bay Observatory and RISR-N are operated by the SRI International for the NSF under a cooperative agreement.

We sincerely looks forward to your abstract submissions and to seeing you at the symposium in-person as before. Description of the session R7 is as follows: This session is devoted to a forum to discuss recent progress on geospace in the Arctic region, such as ground-based/space-borne observations, theories and modeling. Geospace is the atmosphere/space near the earth, including middle atmosphere, upper atmosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere. In the Arctic region, human lives and social structures are sensitively affected by the change of geospace disturbed by solar activities. Recent studies have indicated that the geospace in the Arctic region is not only linked by magnetic field lines but also by atmospheric dynamical processes including circulation and waves, and further affect the global atmosphere. Contributions from international collaborative projects/facilities are highly encouraged.

From solar flares to eruptions and injection of solar material of all sorts (jets, CMEs, particle acceleration), our star?s activity shapes the ever-changing conditions of the heliosphere. While these space weather events originate at the Sun, their origins are varied: from active regions to coronal holes, to more quiescent regions of the Sun (e.g. polar crown prominences, stealth CMEs). This variety makes understanding the succession of processes leading to these events difficult. Over the past decades, ground and space solar observatories and the variety of observations available (from imaging to plasma and particle diagnostics and magnetic field measurements) have helped us refine models of energy build-up and release. In the present talk, I will review some of the key aspects that have helped us develop models of space weather inducing events such as eruptive flares and CMEs, and remaining questions that still need to be addressed. I will also show how recent observations from spacecraft and ground-based observatories provide an unprecedented wealth of data that help us in understanding these phenomena. Finally, I will overview how the Solar Orbiter mission observing programs can help, especially in coordination with other infrastructures, to tackle the challenges of linking the origins of space weather to its effect in the heliosphere.

Sent: Friday, October 21, 2022 9:47 AM To: AS-AGS at LISTSERV.NSF.GOV Subject: NSF/AGS Late-October 2022 Update - Funding Rates, new opportunities, and more Colleagues, AGS continues to play close attention to the participation of underrepresented and underserved investigators and institutions and encourages proposal submissions through any of the existing mechanisms. Supporting NSF wide goals and data, including an invite to the next AGS virtual office hour on this topic, are highlighted below: * NSF's 2022-2026 Strategic Plan Agency Priority Goal (APG, page 50) seeks to "increase both the involvement of communities underrepresented in STEM and enhance capacity through the nation," with a metric for FY2023 to increase the "number and proportion of proposals received from underrepresented and underserved 1) investigators and 2) institutions by 10% over FY2020 baselines." * NSF's FY2022-2023 Annual Performance Plan notes that "internal analyses indicate that investigators from underrepresented groups do well in the merit review process, and that this gap originates at the application level-proposals submitted to NSF do not reflect the diversity of the STEM workforce (let alone the population as a whole)." * NSF by the Numbers provides statistical and funding rate information by Directorate, State, and Institution Type. By clicking on Trends, selecting the filter icon (either side), and choosing Geosciences from the dropdown box, the general range and trend over the past decade is made visible. Specific Geosciences stats for the past year can be found here: https://www.nsf.gov/funding/funding-rates.jsp?org=GEO. * AGS will host a drop-in Virtual Office Hour on 26 October 2022 between 2-3 PM Eastern Time for students and faculty members at Non-R1 Academic Institutions (e.g., Community Colleges, Tribal Colleges and Universities, HBCUs, Undergraduate, Masters, and R2 Institutions).

Dr. Kalogera will speak about her experience in the leadership of the LIGO project which detected gravity waves. She is also the author of the essay, ?Not Taking ?No? for an Answer: Learning How to Persist and Persevere with a Smile?. Registration: https://bostonu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8sYLwV14R4OOY3NFrzJoLg Details: https://sites.bu.edu/shield-drive/outreach-2/webinars/ Vicky Kalogera is the Daniel I. Linzer Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the co-founder and the current director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics (CIERA) at Northwestern University. She is an expert in the astrophysics of compact objects, black holes and neutron stars, the death remnants of stars, studying their formation and evolution especially in systems of multiple stars. Kalogera is a leading astrophysicist in the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, LIGO being the special kind of ?telescopes? that first detected gravitational waves in 2015, waves that were first predicted to exist by Einstein a hundred years earlier. The first detection opened a new window onto the universe uniquely revealing powerful mergers of black holes. Later detections enabled coupled gravitational-wave and electromagnetic-wave, multi-messenger, observations revealing the sites of gold and other heavy metals production. Kalogera is at the forefront of this emergent field of gravitational-wave astronomy and uses data analysis and astrophysical modeling to understand the universe?s population of black holes and neutron stars. For her research she has been recognized by numerous awards, including the Bethe Prize of the American Physical Society (2016), the Heineman Prize for Astrophysics by the American Institute for Physics and the American Astronomical Society (2018), and a Guggenheim Fellowship (2021). Over the years she has served as member or chair on important professional committees. In 2018 she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and in 2021 to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hoffman, 89, passed away on Oct 23, 2022. Bob received his B.S. degree in physics from St. Mary?s College in Winona, Minnesota, and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Minnesota in 1962. His thesis, which was written under J. R. Winckler, involved instrumentation and data analysis on Explorer 6. Bob joined Goddard Space Flight Center in late 1961 on a National Academy of Sciences Associateship before becoming a Civil Servant. His primary interests were experimental investigations of the Earth?s ring current, auroral acceleration and precipitation, auroral electrodynamics and magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. Bob was a leader in every sense of the word. During his tenure at NASA, he served as the principal investigator for instrumentation on a number of flight projects, beginning with OGO-2, and he also served as project scientist for Explorer 45, Dynamics Explorer and Pegsat. In 1989, he assumed direction of the Goddard chemical release program. He was the project scientist for the Polar mission of the International Solar Terrestrial Physics Program as well as the Goddard Lead Definition Scientist for Geospace for the Living with a Star Program and the Radiation Belt Storm Probes mission at the time of his retirement in January 2003. Bob was exceptional at what he did. His work was recognized by NASA, and he received many awards and accolades including the Medal of Exceptional Scientific Achievement and the Exceptional Service Medal. He was also awarded the Exceptional Performance Award and Outstanding Leadership Award by Goddard. Bob and his beloved wife Barbara honeymooned at Cocoa Beach in Florida?a trip that mixed business with a whole lot of pleasure. The trip coincided with one of NASA?s first satellite missions and when asked about the trip, Bob would smile and respond, ?It?s classified.? At one point, Bob and his brother John Hoffman of the University of Texas at Dallas had instruments on the same mission. This marked one of the only times that a pair of siblings have flown their own instruments on the same mission. Despite all of his work, commitments and leadership efforts, Bob always made time to mentor students and support those early in their career. In fact, many of the current leaders in our community got their start with Bob?s help. His impact on our community cannot be overstated and anyone working on a science traceability matrix should stop for a minute and thank Bob for promoting this tool. Bob is survived by his two children, Cindy and David, and their families. He also leaves behind a community that will forever love him and owes him much. Bob will be deeply missed and all who knew him will be forever grateful for the time they got to spend with him.
