First Ten Years of GST
The First Ten Years of GST workshop
will be held March 12-14, 2019 at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT)
in Newark, NJ. The workshop will bring together scientists from GST partner institutions
to exhibit scientific discovery with high resolution data, share experience
with GST data reduction and analysis, brainstorm GST next generation
instrumentation, exploit observing campaigns with other ground-based facilities,
pave the way for ground-based observations to support space missions, and
pursue future collaborations in scientific research.
SOC: Wenda Cao (Chair, NJIT), Jongchul
Chae (SNU), Yuangyong Deng (NAOC), Yeon-Han Kim (KASI), Haisheng Ji (PMO),
Haimin Wang (NJIT), Vasyl Yurchyshyn (BBSO).
LOC: Cheryl James (NJIT), Erika Norro (BBSO)
Call for
Speakers
We are inviting speakers who used GST
or other high-resolution data to address long standing problems of solar
physics such as coronal heating, generation of small-scale magnetic fields,
small-scale dynamics, as well as origin of solar eruptions. Presentations will
likely be between 20 to 30 minutes long.
