Heliophysics GroupProgram Leaders
Prominent scientists from complementing sub-disciplines within heliophysics lead the Heliophysics Summer Schools. They are responsible for selecting the school faculty each year and developing the teaching schedule.
2010 - 2011 School Deans
- Prof. Amitava Bhattacharjee (University of New Hampshire)
- Prof. Dana Longcope (University of Montana-Bozeman)
- Prof. Jan Sojka (Utah State University)
The 2011 program will focus on long-term processes, from the Sun's modulated activity to its influences on the climate systems of the heliosphere, Earth's atmosphere and planetary environments. This will draw material from the third volume of the textbook series, Heliophysics III: "Evolving solar activity and the climates of space and Earth" as well as basic material from the first volume: Heliophysics I: "Plasma physics of the local cosmos".
The 2010 Heliophysics Summer School will focused on teaching students using the series of three Heliophysics textbooks, which were published from the 2007-2009 schools. The 2010 school developed problem sets and labs on conjunction with individual lectures. The problem sets and labs will be developed as auxiliary material for the textbooks.
2007-2009 School Deans
Dr. Karel Schrijver (Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center) and Dr. George Siscoe (Boston University) edited and produced the series of three textbooks, which are now the primary teaching tools for this emerging new field.
