<p><span style="font-size:18.0pt;color:#0E101A;background:aqua;mso-highlight:aqua">From 8-15 May 2024, the Sun displayed unusual activity, with active region NOAA AR3664 emitting multiple X-class flares and Earth-directed coronal mass ejections. As a result,
the third-strongest solar storm of the space age ensued, and the first one of this magnitude featuring a wealth of observations from spaceborne and ground-based assets, as well as state-of-the-art models. This remarkable storm has generated much interest from
the scientific community and drew significant public and media attention towards some of the most intriguing heliophysics phenomena and their impact on our society. Analyzing diverse observations and simulations of this event from across the heliosphere (including
the Sun, the inner heliosphere, the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, atmosphere, and ground) presents an exceptional chance for the scientific community to gather around a common focal point and gain valuable insights into the physics of solar
strong disturbances and how they interact with the near-Earth space.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background:aqua;mso-highlight:aqua">The workshop is specifically designed to bring together experts in solar, magnetospheric, and ionospheric & atmospheric physics to collectively
concentrate on the May 2024 Solar and Geospace Superstorm and comprehend the full implications of these events.

<span style="color:black">"Topical Collection on the May 2024 Solar & Geospace Superstorm," which addresses the coronal, heliospheric, and geospace disturbances associated with the space weather events of May 2024, particularly how ground- and space-based instrumentation
combined with numerical models allow us to understand the origin, dynamics, and consequences of these eruptions and geomagnetic storms. We welcome papers that describe the chain of events, its forecasting, the impacts in space, in the atmosphere, and on the
ground, as well as papers that assess the importance of impacts from May 2024 space weather events, including efforts to mitigate such impacts due to advance forecasts. Comparative analyses of the effects of the May 2024 events, in contrast to other recent
storms and other superstorms, are also welcome.</span> The Topical Collection will be open by 1 August 2024 and includes the following peer-reviewed journals:
<span style="color:black">Space Weather, JGR-Space Physics, Geophysical Research Letters (GRL), and Earth and Space Sciences (ESS). The science articles will go through the nominal reviewing process of these journals and will be collected in the single <a href="https://space-events.jhuapl.edu/superstorm-workshop-2024/Topical-Collection/" title="https://space-events.jhuapl.edu/superstorm-workshop-2024/Topical-Collection/"><span style="color:#0563C1">Topical
