Division on Solar-Terrestrial Sciences
President: Emilia Kilpua

Deputy President: Alexis Rouillard
(arouillard@irap.omp.eu)
The Division on Solar-Terrestrial Sciences (ST) considers all aspects of solar and heliospheric physics, specifically the solar-terrestrial connection. It covers the physical processes occurring on the Sun, in the solar wind, as well as in Earth’s magnetosphere and ionosphere. Solar activity (e.g. coronal mass ejections, solar flares, solar energetic particle events) and the response of the near-Earth space environment to these solar phenomena are studied on a wide-range of temporal and spatial scales. Data analysis and interpretation of space-borne and ground-based data, as well as theoretical studies and different modelling techniques are used to better our understanding of how our local star defines the neighbourhood that we live in.

Hi, this is your ST-ECS team 2023-2024. We are a group of Early Career Scientists (ECSs) of the Solar-Terrestrial (ST) division, and we organize events and activities with and for ST-ECS, both during the EGU General Assembly and throughout the year. Our aim is to increase the visibility of ECSs and provide you with opportunities for networking. Dr. Liliana Macotela, ECS Representative Liliana is a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Bath, UK. Her research focuses on studying the …

The EGU General Assembly is around the corner, and we would like to advertise the events the Early-Career Scientist (ECS) Team of our Division have been preparing to create networking opportunities for ECSs. Solar-Terrestrial ECS Drinks: preGA Icebreaker Get-together for all ST ECSs before the opening reception. We’re meeting up at 15:00 hours in front of the entrance of the name badges collection area. From there and if the weather allows, we move to Copa Beach (near the venue). Later …
Current issue of the EGU newsletter
In our May Issue, it’s time to get your applications and submissions in for our various funding and grant applications! Apply for science communication, outreach and public engagement funding, grants to help you run a training school or small, subject specific conference or know a great science journalist who needs funds to write about a special geoscience project, make sure those applications are in by 17 June. Nominate your colleague for an EGU Award or Medal by 15 June, the process is probably easier than you think!
Also say hello to your new ECS Union Rep, Dan Evans get all your science graphic design questions answered by our EGUwebinar and don’t miss the next EGU Science for Policy Hangout and more, all in this month’s issue of ‘The Loupe’!
