Submit an Abstract to this Session
Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.
Session ID#: 13805
Session Description:
Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) at the surface of the Earth are caused by the interaction between geomagnetic disturbances in the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling system, and deep Earth conductivity structures. GICs can arise in long conductors, such as the high voltage bulk power transmission system in the United States, and have severe and detrimental impacts on our nation’s critical infrastructure. This session covers the interdisciplinary hazard science behind GICs, including magnetic field specification and prediction, conductivity studies, and monitoring techniques. To connect the science to engineering and operational impacts, we also include studies on the direct effects of GICs on power grid operations and utility assets.
