CEDAR email: Royal Meteorological Society event, Wed 20 May, online: "Space Climate: An overview of space weather on long timescales"

OFFICIAL

Dear CEDAR community,

Next week, on Wednesday 20th May, the UK Royal Meteorological Society is hosting an online event "Space Climate: An overview of space weather on long timescales".

This event brings together experts on space climate to give an overview of how the coupled Sun-to-Earth system responsible for space weather behaves over decades, centuries and longer.

Talks will focus on 'top-down' and 'bottom-up' climatological influences, what past extreme solar events and space climate projections tell us about future events, and how the satellite sector (and others) can use this information to mitigate long term risk.
The agenda is below.

The event is targeted at academic and early career researchers working on space weather and space climate, but will also be of interest those in industry working on space weather resilience.
It will be hosted via Zoom and is free to register: https://www.rmets.org/event/space-climate-overview-space-weather-long-timescales.

We appreciate times won't be pleasant for most US-based folk - sharing just in case of enough interest to some to warrant (very) early mornings!

Best wishes,
Edmund Henley (UK Met Office)
Joe Eggington (EDF UK R&D)
