CEDAR email: Invitation to Participate in mini-GEM GIC Sessions

[Shi, Xueling]

Dear colleagues,
We cordially invite you to join our "Understanding the causes of geomagnetic disturbances in geospace for hazard analysis on geomagnetically induced currents" session at the mini-GEM Workshop. There are two GIC sessions in this year's mini-GEM which will take place on December 8th in Washington D.C. in The Westin Washington Downtown (999 9th St NW, Washington, DC 20001). Please see the description and location information below.
1. GIC stand-alone session between 13:45-15:15 EST in Rock Creek Salon C
Community-wide Discussion Session on Modern Modeling Challenge on Ground Magnetic Field Perturbations: This session will focus on planning and implementing a community-wide modeling challenge on ground magnetic field perturbations. It will start with "scene-setting" talks that review previous efforts, available resources (such as funding opportunities), and the scientific motivations behind this challenge. Following these talks, we will hold an open discussion to gather community input on key topics, including leadership for the modeling effort, suitable locations for simulation and data hosting, optimal challenge design to track modeling progress, and feedback mechanisms for improving models related to ground magnetic field perturbations.
2. GIC stand-alone session between 15:30-17:00 EST in Rock Creek Salon C
Community Contribution Session on the Gannon Storm as a Review of GMD and GIC Research: This session, led by the Focus Group with community contribution, will review our current understanding of ground magnetic field variability, geoelectric field determination, and their relevance to GIC. The group will also discuss the practical implications of this knowledge for infrastructure resilience. We welcome 2-3 slide presentations on studies of Gannon Storm. To present in this session, please reach out to the conveners via e-mail (dsozturk at alaska.edu and xueling7 at vt.edu). To participate in the community study of the Gannon storm, please fill out the following survey: https://tinyurl.com/gannon-gmd-gic.

The Zoom link for virtual participation will be available via the GEM Website. Please don't forget to register for mini-GEM via the GEM Website at: https://gemworkshop.org/registration/

Looking forward to seeing you in person or virtually in Washington D.C.!
