Russian-British seminar SW2017

From ISTP SB RAS


Russian-British Seminar of Young Scientists “Dynamical plasma processes in the heliosphere: from the Sun to the Earth”

Contents

[edit] 18- 21 September 2017, Irkutsk, Russia

The Russian-British seminar of young scientists, chaired by Professor V.M. Nakariakov (Warwick, UK) and Professor A.T. Altyntsev (ISTP, Russia) will hold at the Irkutsk Molchanov-Sibirskii Regional Library (Lermontov str 253, Irkutsk, http://www.irklib.ru).on the 18-21st of September in Irkutsk, Russia.


The seminar is funded by the British Council (grant 2016-RLWK7-10419) and Russian Foundation for Basics Research (grant № 17-52-77005).


The main topics of the seminar are the interdisciplinary challenges of solar and space physics and geophysics, including:

  • Magnetohydrodynamic waves. Analogies and differences between the coronal, solar wind and magnetospheric plasmas; and the ionospheric and chromospheric plasmas.
  • Magnetic reconnection and impulsive energy releases: solar flares and geomagnetic storms.
  • Charged particle acceleration and dynamics.
  • Advanced modelling techniques, high-performance computing.
  • Advanced data analysis techniques.
  • Modern instrumentation.

[edit] Accomodation

You don't need to book your accommodation for the days of the seminar, as the LOC has made a package booking at the hotel Academicheskaya (http://academichotel.ru/) near the seminar venue, for September 17-23. If you want to add some additional days to your stay in Irkutsk, you will need to pay for the extra days by yourselves. There are several good hotels in the city centre of Irkutsk, and if you need any advice you are welcome to contact Larisa Kashapova (lkk@iszf.irk.ru). You may also stay longer in the hotel Academicheskaya if you like it.


Please visit it from time to time, as we keep posting there various useful information.
