  1. SPACE SCIENCE PROJECT SMARTInstitute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and SpaceUniversity of New Hampshire The program in Space Science will expose participants to the theoretical, analytical, and practical aspects of research in the modern space sciences: astrophysics, planetary, and space plasma physics. Basic principles of physics will be tied to more specific research projects that participants will pursue. Students will be involved in diverse scientific activities associated with the Sun, the solar system, and astrophysics, using sophisticated space technology, numerical simulation models, and engineering. They will interact with several research groups who are active in analyzing data from instruments flown on NASA missions and in numerical simulations. Data from ongoing missions will be used to illustrate the mathematical and computer techniques required for professional space scientists. Working in small groups, students will serve as members of an actual research team. They will assist in the analysis and interpretation of scientific data from space-based instruments, while working actively with faculty, graduate students, and teachers. Invited speakers will cover topics of space science interest such as: Planetary Explorations; Interactions of the Sun with the Earth's Atmosphere; Past and Future Space Missions; Interplanetary Physics; Solar Wind Interactions with Planetary Environments and Comets; the Space Weather Program, etc. During the ensuing school year, continued contact with the University research groups may be maintained by each person, both to complete any work begun in the summer and to provide ongoing scientific mentoring. • Geomagnetic storms related to interplanetary parameters • Numerical simulations of waves and plasmas •  Study the impact of shocks on the magnetosphere •  Controlled fusion: Bringing a star to Earth • Dusty plasmas: from gas to crystals •  What is Turbulence? Science Topics: • Analysis of high energy particles after a solar flare • Magnetospheric transit by the ACE spacecraft • Analysis of interplanetary shocks • Ion acceleration at interplanetary disturbances • Multispacecraft study of the magnetotail • The Earth’s bow shock: Outermost terrestrial boundary For further information please contact: Dr. Vania Jordanova, tel: 603-862-3956 E-mail: vania.jordanova@unh.edu
