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

三年一度的地球-太阳高峰会议（TESS）是由美国地球物理联合会（AGU）空间物理与航空学部和美国天文学会太阳物理学部（SPD）联合召开的会议。TESS每三年举行一次，每次会议由牵头组织轮流举行。2024年的会议将于2024年4月7日至12日在德克萨斯州达拉斯举行，AGU是会议的负责人。这个三年一次的地球-太阳峰会的目的是每三年将空间物理界聚集在一起，利用发展中的科学并创造合作，特别是随着数据收集和涉及这一科学的任务的增加。该基金将为来自STEM中代表性不足的群体或有经济需求的申请人提供旅行资助，优先资助早期职业科学家。空间物理学包括几个分支学科，包括磁层物理学、电离层-热层-中间层（ITM）、太阳、行星际和日球层顶。虽然这些分支学科是高度相互关联和协作的，但会议往往是分开的，而且是千篇八门的。例如，在年度AGU会议上，SM、SA和SH会议并行进行，几乎没有交叉授粉的机会。同样，NSF的GEM、CEDAR和SHINE会议在不同的时间和地点举行。虽然有人试图将NSF会议配对，但这三个会议从来没有机会同时举行。TESS会议就是为了这个目的。这次会议恰好把更大的太阳-地球科学界聚集在一起，有足够的间隔时间为每次会议带来新的数据和信息。频率允许更容易的旅行和集中。2024年会议将与2024年4月8日的日全食同时举行，届时将邀请科学家前来观看日食。本周晚些时候的会议可能涉及日食的早期数据。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
