Course Director: Dr Valery Nakariakov
Local Organising Committee: Prof S.C. Chapman, Dr T.D. Arber, Dr B. Hnat, Dr E. Verwichte
Course Secretary: Mrs D. Keaney
The course will provide an introduction to the field of solar-terrestrial physics to new PPARC postgraduate students (and others) starting work in the fields of solar physics, the solar corona and solar wind, magnetospheric physics and the physics of the upper atmosphere of the Earth. The programme will give students an overview of the coupled Sun-Earth system. The course (Monday-Friday) provides a general review of energy flow through the Sun-Earth system, starting in the interior of the Sun and ending in the Earth's atmosphere.
