Workshop - Alfven Waves in Solar & Space Plasmas

Tuesday May 31, 2011 - Meridian room at ROB

During this workshop, we will review and coordinate the research developed in the STCE on the physics of Alfvén waves in space plasma, e.g. in the solar atmosphere, in the solar wind, in planetary magnetospheres and ionospheres.
