SM31C:
Challenges in Extreme Space Weather Research: Science, Applications, and Policies for Rare Events I Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 49398

Session Description:
Extreme Space Weather (ESW) events can substantially impact our modern technological infrastructure. Although rare, they have been identified by the U.S. (National Space Weather Action Plan) and international research programs as a growing concern. However, such events have rarely been observed through modern and reliable historical data sets, and a concise understanding of their consequences are challenging. The goal of this session is to provide an opportunity for the discussion of current and ongoing scientific and societal efforts to establish realistic scenarios for the understanding of ESW events, from the solar source to their effects in space and on the ground and how to prepare for and mitigate their consequences. We invite papers covering modern and historical data analyses, modeling, risk assessment, as well as science policy efforts to improve ESW benchmarks for forecasting, protecting, and mitigating impacts on spacecraft, communications systems, power grids, etc.
