Project Workshops
Dusty ionospheres of the Earth, Saturn and its moons
(jointly organized by Michiko Morooka, IRF Uppsala and Ingrid Mann, UiT Tromsø)
The first event took place on 25th May 2021.
Discussions continue with an online seminar held about once per month.
Please contact us if you want to join.
We are pleased to announce the online Mini-workshop on Dusty ionospheres of the Earth, Saturn and its moons, jointly organized by Michiko Morooka IRF Uppsala and Ingrid Mann UiT Tromsø on:
Date: 25th May 2021 09: 30-15: 30 (with lunch and coffee break and plenty of discussion times).
Recent studies revealed that the dusty plasma can be found not only in the Earth's ionosphere but also in the ionospheres of moons and other planets. In this mini-workshop, we compare the measurements from the different places, to gain new insights and develop ideas for future dusty plasma studies in space. The meeting will be made on zoom (please contact us for the link).
We look forward to seeing you in the workshop.

Final agenda:
Date: 25th May 09:30-15:30 (with lunch and coffee break and plenty of discussion times).
