SH22B:
Visions of Future Innovation Across Space Physics and Aeronomy I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 61314

Session Description:
Our inaugural session on Innovation was received extremely well, indicating the need for outside the box visioning across SPA. This year, we solicit innovative and diverse scientific and technological visions, specifically targeting the areas where there are gaps in our understanding that can and should be filled. Recent results have illustrated gaps in our current framework of science, particularly in coupling interdisciplinary areas. A few examples are: the challenges of transitions in spaceweather R2O2R, the increased need for instrument networks, coupling heterogeneous datasets, model coupling across boundaries, and the stagnant progress on increasing diversity. These gaps prevent closure and stagnate progress. This year, we aim to shed light on these gaps and seek presentations that will bring to bear old questions that can newly be answered leading to new questions that should be targeted. We welcome ideas addressing scientific, technological, and social challenges across the space physics.
