CEDAR email: GEM Sessions for the GIC Focus Group

[Xueling Shi]

Dear Colleagues,

We are cordially inviting you to participate in the GIC Focus Group
Sessions that will take place during the 2023 GEM Workshop. Please take
note of the scheduled GIC sessions:
1. GIC stand-alone session on Wednesday, 14 June 2023, 10:30-12:00, Pacific
B
2. GIC-GBMA joint session on Wednesday, 14 June 2023, 13:30-15.00, Pacific A
3. IHMIC-GIC-MPEC joint session on Thursday, 15 June 2023, 10:30-12:00,
Pacific A



These sessions will be organized based on their relevance to specific
topics. If you’d like to present in the GIC stand-alone or IHMIC-GIC-MPEC
joint sessions, please contact Xueling Shi (xueling7 at vt.edu),
Doga Ozturk (dsozturk at alaska.edu), and Hyomin Kim (hyomin.kim at njit.edu)
with the title of your presentation and any other accommodations you might
require if you are interested in presenting by *June 5*.



The GIC-GBMA joint session will begin with an introduction to both groups
and a summary of recent activities, followed by updates from ULTIMA
(international ground magnetometers), SuperMAG, and NSF. Most of the rest
of the session will be for magnetometer network updates, with a  focus on
one or more of (1) updates on network operational status, (2) science goals
of the network and/or recent results, (3) how the network can be used to
support wider GEM and Heliophysics research community goals (e.g., support
for GDC, SMILE, and other current/future satellite missions, space weather
nowcasts/forecasts), and (4) ideas and requests for sharing information
across networks (e.g., new magnetometer technology, measurement techniques,
using Starlink and other new tools). At the end of the session, we’ll have
an open discussion. If you’d like to present a magnetometer network update,
please contact Mike Hartinger (mdhartin1 at gmail.com) by *June 5*.



This is an in-person meeting, but we will try to accommodate virtual
presentations where possible. For more and up-to-date information about the
schedule, please see the GEM Wiki Page

We look forward to seeing you and your active participation in GEM 2023!

Thank you,


Xueling Shi, Dogacan Ozturk, Zhonghua Xu, Mark Engbretson, and Erin Josh
