Dear Colleagues,

We would like to encourage you to submit an abstract to the D3.4: Particle Transport, Acceleration, and Loss in the Earth and Planetary Magnetospheres session at the 45^th COSPAR Scientific Assembly, Busan, Korea, 13 - 21 July 2024. 

Main Scientific Organizer: Kyung-Chan Kim

Deputy Organizer:  Maria Usanova

Registration and abstract submission: https://www.cospar2024.org/registration/01.html?sMenu=01

The abstract submission deadline is 9 February 2024.

Session details:

Since the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belts, understanding of the acceleration and loss processes in the Earth's magnetosphere and magnetospheres of the outer planets has been a central topic of research in the space physics community. Observations from the Van Allen Probes, ARASE, MMS, Cluster, Double Star, THEMIS, NOAA POES and GOES, Lomonosov, and several CubeSat missions provided a vast amount of data. New planetary missions such as Juno and JUICE will provide additional information about the radiation environments of the outer planets, which will lay the foundation for quantitative comparative studies. In this session, we invite modeling and observational contributions that focus on the physics of transport, acceleration, and loss of particles in the Earth and planetary magnetospheres. 

Sincerely,

Maria Usanova and Kyung-Chan Kim
