  1. Unsteady Reconnection Issues • Energy stored in stressed magnetic fields can produce large scale explosive events • Unsteady, impulsive, multi time scale, probably requires 3D to exist • Reality is rarely steady state, but our concepts & models are • How and where does reconnection • Initiate? … slow to fast transition? … Stagnate? • What about dynamics? flow fields? Current sheets? Turbulence? 3D geometry? Petschek? SHINE2009 Intrator LA-UR-08-0324
