Space Weather Workshop; Broomfield, Colorado; May 1-5, 2017

该奖项是为了组织2017年5月1日至5日在科罗拉多州布鲁姆菲尔德的Omni InterLocken酒店举行的2017年空间天气研讨会。这是一个为期四天的讲习班，重点是空间天气的影响，并探索预测和预报方面的最新科学进展。空间天气起源于太阳，太阳不断地发射物质和电磁波。当它们影响近地空间环境时，会产生复杂的反应，包括诱发地磁风暴、极光、电离层扰动以及空间和地面上的各种电流。研讨会将讨论这些现象以及对基础设施的影响，如卫星拖曳、空间资产中电子元件的中断、电网中的感应电流等。预计与会者将(根据过去的研讨会)由来自受空间天气影响的行业的科学家和代表组成，包括电力行业、商业航空公司、卫星和导航/通信行业的代表。研讨会的目的是促进学术界、行业和政府在空间天气问题上的合作，并促进科学、技术、经济、政策和安全界之间的积极论坛。指导委员会由来自空间气象研究和应用界的知识渊博的专家组成，并包括学生代表。指导委员会根据成绩、教育职业目标和对整体会议经验的潜在贡献来确定和招募研讨会的演讲者。研讨会围绕全体会议、海报会议和圆桌讨论展开。鼓励本科生和研究生参加并在工作坊上展示海报。2017年空间气象研讨会由多个机构联合主办，包括美国国家海洋和大气局、美国国家航空航天局和美国国家科学基金会。

This award is to organize the 2017 Space Weather Workshop held May 1-5, 2017 at the Omni Interlocken Hotel in Broomfield, Colorado. This is a four-day workshop that focuses on the impacts of space weather and explores recent scientific advances in predicting and forecasting. Space weather originates from the sun, which is constantly emitting material and electromagnetic waves. When these impact the near-Earth space environment, there is a complex response including induction of geomagnetic storms, the aurorae, ionospheric disturbances, and a variety currents in space and on the ground. These phenomena as well as impacts to infrastructure such as satellite drag, disruptions to electronic components in space assets, induced currents in the power grid, and many others will be discussed at the workshop. The participants are expected to be (based on past workshops) a mixture of scientists, and representatives from industries impacted by space weather, including those from the electrical power industry, commercial airlines, satellite and navigation/ communication industries.  The workshop is intended to foster collaboration across academia, industry and government on space weather issues, and to promote an active forum among science, technology, economic, policy and security communities. The steering committee is comprised of knowledgeable experts from the space weather research and applications communities and includes student representatives. The steering committee identifies and recruits speakers for workshop sessions based on merit, educational career objectives, and potential contribution to the overall conference experience. The workshop is structured around plenary sessions, poster sessions, and round-table discussions. Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to participate and present posters at the workshop. Space Weather Workshop 2017 is co-sponsored by several agencies, including the NOAA, NASA, and NSF.
