American Geophysical Union (AGU) Chapman Conference on The Triennial Earth-Sun Summit (TESS); Dallas, Texas; April 7-12, 2024

三年一度的地-日首脑会议(TESS)是美国地球物理联合会(AGU)空间物理和大气学分会和美国天文学会太阳物理分会(SPD)的联席会议。TESS每三年举行一次，由牵头组织轮流参加每次会议。AGU是2024年会议的牵头机构，会议将于2024年4月7日至12日在德克萨斯州达拉斯举行。每三年举行一次的地球-太阳首脑会议的目的是每三年将空间物理界聚集在一起，以利用正在发展的科学并建立合作，特别是在涉及这一科学的数据收集和任务增加的情况下。该基金将为来自STEM代表性不足群体或表现出经济需要的申请者提供旅费补助金，优先资助早期职业科学家。空间物理包括几个子学科，包括磁层物理、电离层-热层-中间层(ITM)、太阳、星际和太阳顶层。虽然这些子学科高度相互关联和协作，但会议往往是分开的和火炉管道的。例如，在一年一度的AGU会议上，SM、SA和SH会议并行进行，几乎没有机会异花授粉。同样，NSF的创业板、雪松和阳光会议在不同的时间举行，而且往往在不同的地点举行。虽然有人试图将NSF的会议配对，但这三个会议从来没有机会会面。苔丝会议就是为了这个目的。这次会议碰巧将更大的日地科学界聚集在一起，有足够的间隔时间为每次会议带来新的数据和信息。频率允许更轻松的旅行和聚焦。2024年会议将与2024年4月8日的日全食同时举行，科学家们被邀请前来观看日全食。本周晚些时候的会议可能涉及日食的早期数据。这一裁决反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Triennial Earth-Sun Summit (TESS) is a joint meeting of the Space Physics and Aeronomy Section of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and the Solar Physics Division (SPD) of the American Astronomical Society. TESS takes place every three years, with the lead organization rotating each meeting. AGU is the lead for the 2024 meeting, which will take place 7-12 April 2024 in Dallas, Texas. The purpose of this Triannual Earth-Sun Summit is to bring the space physics community together every 3 years to harness the developing science and create collaborations, especially with the increase in data collections and missions involved with this science. The funds will provide travel grants for applicants from under-represented groups in STEM or who demonstrate financial need, with a priority for funding early career scientists.Space Physics includes several subdisciplines including magnetospheric physics, ionosphere-thermosphere-mesosphere (ITM), solar, interplanetary, and the heliopause. While these sub- disciplines are highly interrelated and collaborative, meetings are often segregated and stove- piped. For example at the annual AGU meetings the SM, SA, and SH sessions run in parallel with little opportunity for cross-pollination. Likewise, NSF’s GEM, CEDAR, and SHINE meetings are held at separate times and often in separate locations. While there is an attempt to pair up the NSF meetings there is never an opportunity for all three to meet together. The TESS meeting serves this purpose. The convening happens to bring together the larger sun-earth scientific community with enough interval time to bring new data and information to each meeting. The frequency allows for easier travel and focus. The 2024 meeting will be held in conjunction with the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse and scientists are invited to come for the eclipse. Sessions later in the week may involve early data from the eclipse.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
