Context<\/strong><\/p>\n

There has been considerable progress in solar physics, in the physics of space plasmas and in the physics of the Earth\u2019s magnetosphere and ionosphere in recent decades. Solar-terrestrial physics evolved as the discipline that covers studies of solar effects on the Earth\u2019s space environment. In more recent years, the concept of space weather has developed as both a scientific discipline and, increasingly, a topic that provides a forum to assess the vulnerabilities of the space infrastructure of 21st century human life on Earth from solar disturbances. Therefore space weather research covers more than solar-terrestrial effects as it also includes the physics behind those phenomena that are identified as hazards in space and on the ground. A key requirement of space weather studies is the understanding of causal chains from the Sun to the terrestrial environment and their quantified predictability<\/p>\n

Objective of the Workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n

The science of space weather is therefore effectively a synthesis of solar and near-Earth space phenomena and the causal links from the Sun to the Earth\u2019s neighborhood. The objectives of the Workshop will be to review the elements of the physical processes and to identify the way they link to each other to form the causal chains from the Sun to the Earth and thus to assess and review the scientific foundations of Space Weather.<\/p>\n

The topics covered in the Workshop:<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 Space weather: what it is, most important causal effects (and what\u2019s impacted)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Solar phenomena driving space weather and their predictability<\/p>\n

\u2022 Propagation of solar phenomena in the inner heliosphere<\/p>\n

\u2022 The geoeffectiveness of solar phenomena \u2013<\/p>\n

\u2022 Anthropogenic space weather effects<\/p>\n

\u2022 Extreme space weather events<\/p>\n

\u2022 Space climate – long term variations in space weather effects<\/p>\n

\u2022 Space weather at other planets in the solar system<\/p>\n

\u2022 What can we learn from the activity of sun-like stars<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
