Dear Kikuchi-sensei,
This is Kirolosse from Kyushu University.
May I ask you to distribute our call for abstracts (below) of our session in the upcoming
European Geosciences Union (EGU) to the AAPPS members?
Thank you very much !

Dear colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit an abstract to the session:
ITS5.13/EMRP3 Recent Advancements in the Knowledge of the South Atlantic
Anomaly: A New Integrated Science
Geomagnetic research provides clues toward understanding our planet from its core tothe near-space environment. The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) exhibits two magnetic
intensity minima, the weaker in South America and the other near Africa.
The past and ongoing scientific programs have significantly advanced our knowledge of
the SAA. Ground magnetic observations and spacecraft measurements (Champ,Swarm, etc.) led to the development of Earth’s internal magnetic field models, such as
the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) and the CHAOS models. Field
forecasting by data assimilation predicts that the African minimum will become
weaker than the South American. Recent studies reveal that these magnetic minima
may appear at multiple locations, adding new constraints to the Earth’s core dynamics
models.
While this anomaly originates as a magnetic phenomenon, it has evolved into an interand transdisciplinary research field, connecting with various sciences tocomprehensively understand its origins, its implications for our planet's future, andsignaling potential societal impacts: starting by geophysics studies, which consider theformation and historical evolution of the SAA, geobiology studies are capable ofexploring the interactions of the SAA with the biosphere and forecasting its possible
connection with climate, and geospace studies can effectively investigate the energetic
particle precipitation in the SAA, its relationship with space weather, and thecorresponding radiation effects on the upcoming Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite
missions.
This session welcomes submissions related to the SAA (and other regions of weakintensity field) covering the inter- and transdisciplinary research aspects andencouraging future research collaborations. Furthermore, the session invites studies
examining the magnetic field anomalies on other Solar System planets, their origins,
and their impact on the forthcoming space missions.
Remember that the deadline for the abstract submissions is 10 January 2024, at 13:00
CET.
