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#: 16763

Session Description:
The National Science and Technology Council released the National Space Weather Action Plan (NSWAP) in October 2015. The NSWAP details implementation steps that have been undertaken by Federal entities as part of the National Space Weather Strategy.  This session will provide an update on the status of NSWAP research activities, lessons learned since publication of NSWAP, and a forum for discussion of basic and applied research that is necessary to meet NSWAP objectives. We invite presentations that fall on a broad spectrum from fundamental space weather research to the programmatic issues germane to NSWAP research. Topics related to the space environment that affect power grids, terrestrial and spacecraft communications and navigation, spacecraft operations, and survivability, as well as our ability to forecast these effects, are encouraged.
