Dear colleagues,


We would like to cordially invite you to our MPEC stand-alone and joint
sessions during the GEM 2026 Workshop. We have three stand-alone and four
joint sessions this year. A short information about each session can be
found below and through our MPEC FG Wikipage:

If you would like to present in any of the following sessions, please
e-mail Dong Lin (dlin7 at clemson.edu) and Dogacan Su Ozturk (
dsozturk at alaska.edu).

Stand-alone Sessions:

1. MPEC: Advances in understanding precipitation sources and effects in the
coupled MIT system through observations

This stand-alone MPEC session will focus on advances in understanding
precipitation sources and effects in the coupled MIT system utilizing
observations. The format is a series of solicited short talks by community
members.

Date/time: Monday, July 13, at 10.30-12.00 in Room VT/NH

2. MPEC: Advances in understanding precipitation sources and effects in the
coupled MIT system through modelling

This stand-alone MPEC session will focus on advances in understanding
precipitation sources and effects in the coupled MIT system utilizing
numerical models. The format is a series of solicited short talks by
community members.

Date/time: Tuesday, July 14, at 13.30-15.00 in Room CT/RI

3. MPEC: Discussion of the goals and next steps for the MPEC Focus Group
with the community

This MPEC session will focus on a community discussion on the future of
auroral precipitation and conductance research within the GEM community. We
invite all interested researchers to participate in the discussion session.

Date/time: Thursday, July 16, at 13.30-15.00 in Room CT/RI


Joint Sessions:

1. MLGEM/MPEC/GIC/MAC Sessions on Monday (July 13) and Wednesday (July 15)
13.30-15.00 at VT/NH

These sessions are joint sessions led by MLGEM RG. Please contact the MLGEM
RG for further information.

2. RBSoS/MPEC Joint Session on Wednesday, July 15 15.30-17.00 at VT/NH

This session focuses on precipitation from radiation belts. Please contact
RBSoS and MPEC FG leads for further information and presentation slots.

3. MAC/MESO/MPEC Joint Session on Friday, July 17 10.30-12.00 at VT/NH

This session focuses on the goals and outcomes of MPEC that are synergistic
with the new MAC FG.

As always, we are looking forward to your participation and seeing you in
person or virtually at the 2026 Workshop!
