STCE Workshop - Alfven Waves and Turbulence in Solar-Terrestrial Plasmas
Friday May 25, 2012 - Green room at BIRA, 9:40 - 14:50
In the framework of the STCE-2012 annual meeting, we organize the STCE-2012 Alfven workshop on Alfvén waves and turbulence in solar-terrestrial plasmas. The goal of this workshop is to review the last year achievements and coordinate research developed by the STCE institutes within Space Pole and in collaboration with outside partners. In this year edition of the workshop we appreciate the fact that Alfvén waves as observed in space plasmas are mostly in a turbulent state, hence "turbulence" is now explicitly included in the workshop title. Another new thing is that the workshop will be in two parts. The first (morning) part will have the same format as last year, consisting of regular (20+5)-min talks. The second (afternoon) part will be a joint workshop/STCE seminar given by two world-class scientists in the field.Looking forward to meet you!
Yuriy Voitenko and Andrea Verdini
