Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
The COSPAR Scientific Symposium-2025 is scheduled to take place at Nicosia, Cyprus during 3-7 November 2025. We invite abstracts for the following session.<br>
<br>
<br><strong>Session C0.2:</strong> Impact assessment of extreme space weather events of 2024 on the near Earth space environment and technological systems<br>
<br><strong>Description:</strong> Space weather refers to a multitude of phenomena occurring at the sun, interplanetary medium, magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere over periods ranging from hours to years. These naturally occurring processes have the potential to adversely affect the performance and reliability of space-borne and ground-based technological systems and can endanger several facets of human life. Recent extreme space weather events occurred in May and October 2024 triggered severe modifications in the geospace environment leading to G5 and G4 class geomagnetic storms respectively. The space weather event of May 2024 comprises of 11 X class flares and most powerful coronal mass ejection resulting the strongest geomagnetic storm of the past two decades. There was a remarkable impact of these two space weather events, with auroras observed worldwide extending up to low latitudes demonstrating a significant solar-terrestrial coupling. Severe disruptions were also experienced by the ground and satellite based technologies worldwide during these storms. These space weather events provide a unique opportunity to explore the complex processes in the Solar-Wind-Magnetosphere-Thermosphere-Ionosphere system to understand and formulate mitigation strategies to cater the needs of ever increasing technological applications. Papers are invited in this session which is focussed to discuss the impacts of the above two space weather events on the geospace environment at varied spatio temporal scales using ground and satellite based observations and model simulations including AI/ML techniques. Also, papers addressing the implications of these events on the space assets, satellite anomalies, operations and performance of ground and satellite based technologies are encouraged. <br>
