Applications are open for the “International Workshop and School on solar system plasma turbulence, intermittency and multifractals (STORM 2015)”, which will be organised by the Institute of Space Science (ISS) from 6 to 13 September 2015 in Mamaia, Romania. The abstracts can be submitted until 15 June 2015 by completing the online form available here.
The “Solar system plasma turbulence, intermittency and multifractals” workshop and school is organised as a series of daily tutorial lectures followed by invited and contributed talks. The lectures focus on fundamental plasma turbulence and waves, the micro-/macro-structure and turbulence of the solar wind, the nonlinear dynamics of the planetary magnetospheres and geomagnetic field.
During the event the methods for in-situ investigation of solar system plasmas will be discussed, along with the analysis techniques adapted for turbulence and intermittency, the numerical simulations for space plasma dynamics.
For the moment, the list of confirmed lecturers includes:
- Roberto Bruno, National Institute for Astrophysics, Italy
- Tom Chang, MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, USA
- Giuseppe Consolini, National Institute for Astrophysics, Italy
- Jay Johnson, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, USA
- Giovanni Lapenta, KU Leuven, Belgium
- A.T.Y. Lui, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, USA
- Wieslaw Macek, Space Research Center, Poland
- Eckart Marsch, Christian Albrechts University at Kiel, Germany
- Bruce Tsurutani, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USA
Registration
The workshop and school registration fee is 250 EUR and will cover the coffee breaks and lunches in IAKI restaurant (from Monday to Saturday) and the social events (welcome cocktail, official dinner and one-day excursion in the Danube Delta).
Further details are available here.
A limited number of grants is available to support the participation of young Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scientists interested in the analysis and understanding of solar system plasma turbulence, intermittency and multifractals. The interested candidates should submit a funding application. Details here.
The preliminary programme overview is available here.
The event is sponsored by the European Community’s 7th Framework Programme through FP7 Project STORM and the European Geosciences Union (EGU).
