From Lynn.Harvey at lasp.colorado.edu Thu May 1 12:52:57 2025 From: Lynn.Harvey at lasp.colorado.edu (Lynn Harvey) Date: Thu, 1 May 2025 18:52:57 +0000 Subject: CEDAR email: Vote on Proposed Changes to the CEDAR Bylaws In-Reply-To: References: <2767A9D8-B0D2-468B-A2D2-D59B9E10F046@jhuapl.edu> <8E684458-62F9-42F0-B087-B83688845302@us.navy.mil> <2602D486-74FD-407A-B820-F61AE5930010@jhuapl.edu> <4B531522-65C1-4119-BA34-AB8E3AAB230A@us.navy.mil> Message-ID: If you haven't already done so, please cast your vote here to approve the proposed Bylaw changes (given below), or not, by Friday May 9th 2025. Thank you for participating in this process! Sincerely, V. Lynn Harvey and Mark Conde, on behalf of the CSSC ---Summary of Proposed Bylaw Changes--- 1. Remove taboo words (e.g., change DEI task force to MATRIX) to ensure continued NSF funding. 2. Add to the bylaws language that we require GCs to provide a quantitative assess community engagement output, e.g., count how many people got involved during the project. 3. Change ?CEDAR Science Thrusts? to ?CEDAR Science Plan? 4. Change the bylaws to reflect that CSSC members may not nominate other CSSC members for science highlights or Prize or Distinguished lectures. 5. Add language that ensures funding for CSSC SRs to support Student Day. ---Details of Proposed Bylaw Changes--- Items #1 and #3 are straightforward. Proposed changes in Red: * Change ?Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion? to ?Merit and Training for Research, Innovation, and eXcellence? * Change DEI to MATRIX (3 instances) * In section 8.2 Demographics: ?These demographics will be used as a metric to evaluate the performance of equity measures undertaken by the CSSC and to inform the CEDAR membership, the CSSC, and relevant funding agencies regarding the composition of the CSSC CEDAR community.? * Change ?Thrusts? to ?Plan? (2 instances) For item #2, below is a snippet of the Bylaws with a proposed change in Red: * In section 6.3 Grand Challenges: ?Each GC workshop will introduce the topic to the CEDAR community in the plenary session in the first year and provide updates in the 2nd and 3rd, and a summary after year 3. GCs are required to provide a quantitative assessment of community engagement each year, such as how many people joined the GC effort over the course of the project.? For item #4, below is a snippet of the Bylaws with a proposed change in Red: * In section 7.1 Prize Lectures: ?The Early-Career CEDAR Prize Lecture, CEDAR Prize Lecture, and Distinguished CEDAR Prize Lecture are solicited every year before the annual CEDAR workshop. The nomination criteria for each award shall be included in the solicitation and be made available on the CEDAR webpage. CSSC members may not nominate themselves or other current CSSC members for science highlights or Prize lectures. The evaluation process is currently decided by the current Prize Lecture task force leader and voting is performed by all voting members of the CSSC.? For item #5, below is a snippet of the Bylaws with a proposed change in Red: * In section 6.1 Student Support: ?Student support to attend the annual CEDAR workshop (if an in person option is available) will be extended to only students based at educational institutions within the USA (including all US states and territories). This support includes registration fees, airfare (up to a potential maximum limit that may vary by year), and housing. In exchange, students are required to present a poster and are encouraged to participate fully in other areas of the workshop. Top priority will be given to funding the two SRs before all other students, to ensure their in-person support of Student Day.? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our session is scheduled for Tuesday, June 24, 2025, from 10:00 - 12:00 CDT. Workshop Description: Synoptic atmospheric hazards, such as hurricanes and strong frontal activity, and defined geological hazards, such as seismic and volcanic activities, can trigger acoustic and gravity waves that propagate upwards and can be detected in the upper atmosphere. Additionally, man-made artificial, accidental, and intentional explosive events are also equally responsible for generating shock or acoustic wave signatures in the geospace environment. Observation and modeling of these events can give new insights into our understanding of the dynamics, chemistry, and fundamental coupling processes between the troposphere and the middle and upper atmosphere. In system theory, such lower atmospheric events can be thought of as a defined input, x(t), into a complex system, h(t), where the CEDAR/GEM community can observe y(t) and gain insight on the fundamental transfer function(s) representing the underlying physical processes controlling the upper atmospheric response. This workshop welcomes short interactive presentations on the upper atmospheric response to various natural and artificial phenomena occurring in the oceans, on land, and in the lower atmosphere. Such phenomena include but are not limited to, earthquakes, surface and submarine volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, typhoons, cyclones, hurricanes, tornados, thunderstorms, non-nuclear explosions, nuclear detonations, rocket exhausts, etc., which are studied from different observational and modeling approaches. Improved capabilities in forecasting these disasters can save hundreds of lives and protect billions of dollars in property from damage. Rapidly growing and practical automated processes, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), can analyze massive data sets, enabling scientists to gain new insights and optimize performance. These advancements are crucial for hazard-related preparedness and response. The workshop seeks to bring together the CEDAR and GEM communities from different disciplines and backgrounds so as to fundamentally develop a deeper understanding of the geophysical processes involved. It is anticipated that the impact of this activity can lead to new projects related to natural and artificial hazard-induced upper atmospheric dynamics, including research-based AI/ML tools that may lead to early warning systems against such disasters. Detailed information about the workshop can be found here: https://cedarscience.org/workshop/2025-workshop-hazards. If you would like to contribute to our session, please let us know. Looking forward to seeing you at the Joint CEDAR/GEM Workshop!

It has been nine years since the 2016 joint CEDAR-GEM workshop that was held in Santa Fe, New Mexico. With the new Decadal Survey released in late 2024, there has been strong community support for once again adopting the joint format for this year's CEDAR and GEM meetings. The CEDAR and GEM steering committees have thus been working? together for more than a year to implement this, in collaboration with our sponsors at NSF, and with our conference organizers at UCAR/CPAESS and at the University of New Hampshire. As a result, we have planned a comprehensive six-day meeting that will feature: * An exciting student day on Sunday June 22 that has been jointly organized by our two student groups. * Multiple joint plenary sessions to address topics of combined interest in the areas of science, programmatics, and community care. * A number of independent CEDAR-only and GEM-only plenary sessions dedicated to? each group's specific science topics. * A wide selection of community-proposed breakout science workshops addressing timely science topics of high importance - some joint, some CEDAR-only, and some GEM-only. Outside of plenary sessions, there will generally be seven breakout workshops running in parallel. * Agency updates presented during a joint plenary session, plus agency office hours for more direct one-to-one discussions with agency leads. * CEDAR and GEM poster sessions running in parallel, with all posters on display all week. * Discussion of the new Decadal Survey during a joint plenary session on Friday. * Various extracurricular activities including a banquet, a meeting excursion, student-led community events, and breakout events led by various sub-groups for both scientific collaboration and and for socializing. * A fantastic conference center and venue in Des Moines, Iowa. Meeting attendees will register through the familiar portals run by their respective CEDAR or GEM communities. We remind everyone that the deadline for "early bird" registration on the CEDAR side is this Friday, May 7. This is also the deadline for submission of regular CEDAR poster abstracts. The draft agenda for this meeting is now available at: https://cedarscience.org/2025-joint-cedar-gem-workshop-agenda We look forward to seeing you all in Des Moines, Iowa. - CEDAR Chairs: Mark Conde & Lynn Harvey - GEM Chairs: Christine Gabrielse & Allison Jaynes -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The oral abstract submission deadline is Thursday, 15 May, at 2025 23:59 CEST. Past this date, all submissions will be considered for poster presentation only. Abstract submission Link: https://events.spacepole.be/event/222/. SWR2 session summary: The extreme space weather events of Solar Cycle 25 highlight the urgent need for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to understanding solar-Earth interactions. This session aims to bring together experts from solar and heliospheric physics, as well as magnetospheric, ionospheric, and atmospheric physics to investigate the formation, propagation, and impacts of solar storms. By studying the magnetic connectivity and dynamics of the source regions leading to solar flares, and eruptions accompanied by the solar energetic particle events, we seek to understand how solar activity influences interplanetary space and interacts with the planetary environment. The propagation of coronal mass ejections and their interactions within the heliosphere are crucial for assessing the extent of space weather disturbances. The session will also address the broader space implications of these extreme events, as the impact of geomagnetically induced currents on engineering infrastructure remains an important topic for space weather mitigation strategies. We encourage you to submit abstracts on events covering all aspects of space weather, from the Sun to the Earth, and their impacts on other planetary environments. We welcome modeling and observational studies. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, this session aims to improve our understanding of space weather as a system-wide phenomenon and strengthen links between research communities. We look forward to your valuable contributions and appreciate your attention and interest.

Sankarasubramanian Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Abstract: The first Indian Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, Aditya-L1, was launched on 2nd September 2023. It successfully reached the intended L1 orbit on the 6th January 2024. The mission is currently in science operation phase providing unique science data. The primary science objective of the mission is to understand the solar dynamics, especially the chromospheric and coronal dynamics of the Sun and its influence at L1 which in turn provides information about the disturbances which potentially reaches Earth. To accomplish this, Aditya-L1 is configured with four remote sensing and three in-situ experiments. The remote sensing experiments include: (i) Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC), (ii) Solar Ultra-violet Imaging Telescope (SUIT), (iii) Solar Low-Energy X-ray Spectrometer (SoLEXS), and (iv) High Energy L1 Orbiting Spectrometer (HEL1OS). Along with the remote sensing payloads, there are three in-situ experiments to measure the in-situ particles and magnetic field dynamics. The in-situ experiments are: (i) Plasma Analyser Package for Aditya-L1 (PAPA), (ii) Aditya Solarwind Particle EXperiment (ASPEX), and (iii) MAGnetometer (MAG). In this presentation, Aditya-L1's science capabilities as a stand-alone mission and also synergetic with other missions or observatories will be highlighted. A glimpse of Aditya-L1's science capabilities from the science observations so far will be presented. As an observatory for the solar and heliospheric community, potential of national and international community participation through science proposals with Aditya-L1 will be explained. In synergy with other international observatories, both ground- as well as space-experiments, Aditya-L1 would provide data which can address the solar and heliophysics observational aspects. With the Aditya-L1 science data made available to the community, we encourage all to utilize the same for the advancement of understanding the science of space weather.

Precipitation from the radiation belts into the atmosphere changes the chemical composition from the stratosphere to the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. By dissociation, dissociative ionization, and ionization of major atmospheric species, EEP changes atmospheric nitric oxides (NOx) and hydrogen oxides (HOx), which serve as a reaction catalyst for large ozone (O3) loss in the stratosphere and mesosphere. By changing the composition of the atmosphere, EEP can also indirectly affect the heating and cooling rates in the atmosphere and thus its dynamics. A comprehensive understanding of EEP characteristics and its influence on the atmosphere remains elusive because it requires a synergistic characterization of both radiation belt dynamics and atmospheric responses. In this session we will cover how EEP of radiation belt particles affects the atmospheric system, in terms of energy input, transport processes in the atmosphere, as well as the direct and indirect effects on the atmospheric chemistry and dynamics. We will encourage talks that address the inputs to the system and make progress in atmospheric modeling including the EEP effects.
