Friday November 10


Group discussion of the future work- The following sub-topics were identified:


High altitude meteors and dusty plasma

Meteoroid and dust fragmentation and disturbed area around
incoming bodies

Dust detection in space and Earth's environment

Physical processes at "small" dust

Dust trails and interaction with solar wind

Collective effects in dusty plasmas in the Earth's
Ionosphere
