Greenland Space Sciences Symposium

POST MEETING NOTES
Sharon Bowers and Cornel Campbell -- the teacher and videographer that documented the Historic and Outlook Session of the Symposium and also interviewed some of the presenters. They have begun posting the results of their work, and you can view it at: http://nortellearnit.org/nia_nasa/greenland_symposium

It is anticipated that the proceedings of the Symposium will be published in a scientific journal or in the AIP proceedings series. Both opportunities are being explored, and we are in contact with the editors of Annales Geophysicae and AIP Proceedings. Specific information will be announced later on this web site.

Transport in the Coupled Solar Wind - Geospace System
Seen From a High-Latitude Vantage Point

The Greenland Space Science Symposium, to be held 4-9 May 2007 in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, will strive to advance our understanding of solar-terrestrial interaction by focusing on old and new observations from very high latitudes, as well as related theory, modeling, and numerical simulations. The meeting will provide opportunity for presentations from, and coordination between, existing and planned networks of ground-based instruments and space probes. Modeling results indicating specific needs for additional data acquisition to address scientific issues and/or to validate models are also particularly relevant.

Greenland was selected as the symposium location to celebrate the rich history of Greenland as a base for scientific instruments providing a window into the geospace system. The symposium is planned as part of the International Polar Year 2007-2008.
