International Heliophysical Year (IHY) Chapman Conference on Universal Heliophysical Processes; Savannah, Georgia; November 10-14, 2008

首席研究员将为美国学生和英国科学家提供旅费支助，以参加作为国际太阳物理年主持的一项活动而定于2008年10月举行的关于宇宙太阳物理过程的会议。会议计划将围绕五类普遍的等离子体过程组织起来，这些过程在国家研究理事会题为“局部宇宙的等离子体物理”的报告中得到了严格的概述。“该计划将以邀请主持人在有限数量的邀请论文之后进行的扩展讨论为特色。该项目已被美国地球物理联合会（AGU）批准为查普曼会议，AGU工作人员将负责所有会议安排，注册和广告。使主要与会者能够出席会议将有助于就空间物理研究前沿的主题提出全面的计划。这个项目将有助于制定研究通用等离子体工艺的策略，并提高学生的职业生涯。

The Principal Investigator will provide travel support for U.S. students and British scientists to participate in a conference on universal heliophysical processes, to be held in October 2008 as an activity under the auspices of the International Heliophysical Year. The conference program will be organized around five categories of universal plasma processes that are rigorously outlined in a report by the National Research Council, entitled "Plasma Physics of the Local Cosmos." The program will feature extended discussions led by invited moderators following a limited number of invited papers. This project has been approved as a Chapman Conference by the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and AGU staff will handle all meeting arrangements, registration, and advertising.Enabling the attendance of key conference participants will facilitate the presentation of a comprehensive program on a topic that lies at the forefront of research in space physics. This project will help develop strategies for studying universal plasma processes and enhance students' careers.
