 Alfvén waves (KAWs) play significant role in space plasma dynamics at 
microscale, i.e., at scale length of ion gyro radius or electron 
inertial length. In Earth’s magnetosphere, KAWs play an important role 
in energy transfer processes from magnetic-reconnection at magnetopause 
and magnetotail to dipolarization fronts and auroral dynamics, which is 
also observed in outer planet magnetosphere.  In heliospheric turbulent 
plasmas, KAWs are thought to be a critical pathway for energy 
dissipation at microphysical scales. Spacecraft missions such as THEMIS,
 Cluster and MMS at Earth, while Solar Orbiter and PSP in solar wind and
 Cassini and Juno at Saturn and Jupiter are increasingly capable of 
examining KAWs and their effects in various regions of heliosphere. 
Further, as simulation capabilities increase, and theoretical boundaries
 are pushed, novel progress is being made to understand basic KAW 
physics. This session invites studies related to theory, observations 
and simulations of KAWs throughout the heliosphere.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:black;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-size:12pt"> </span><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:17.12px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Abstract Submission Deadline:</span></b><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:17.12px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> Wednesday, 2 August 2023 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT</span><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:17.12px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:17.12px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">We look forward to receiving your contributions and thank you very much for your attention.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:17.12px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:17.12px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:black;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-size:12pt">If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-size:12pt"> </span><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:17.12px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Sincerely,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:17.12px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:17.12px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Krushna Chandra Barik</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:17.12px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">David Malaspina</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:15.6933px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:17.12px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Pablo S Moya</span></p><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:17.12px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Satyavir Singh</span></div>
