Meetings related to VarSITI in 2018

Dynamic Sun: II:
Solar Magnetism from Interior to the Corona
February 12÷16, 2018 Siem Reap, Angkor Wat, Cambodia

"Dynamic Sun" is a newly proposed conference series, which will provide a highly visible platform to the observers, theoreticians, numerical modellers and instrumentation experts in the field of solar physics and space science to discuss cutting edge scientific challenges. The first Dynamic Sun meeting, which focused on MHD wave phenomena in the solar atmosphere, took place in 2016 in Varanasi, India and was highly successful with more than 120 participants (http://star-lab.group.shef.ac.uk/Conferences/Cambodia_2018/).

The Dynamic Sun II meeting will follow up the success of the first and also an additional requested session devoted to the Sun driving magnetospheric dynamics will be added. As well as this new magnetospheric session, the focus of the Dynamic Sun II meeting will be to discuss in detail the recent achievements in understanding photospheric, chromospheric and coronal dynamics, energy transport between the lower and upper layers of solar interior and the solar atmosphere, dynamical processes in the confined solar transients. Special attention will be paid to the key results and goals of the current and proposed space and ground-based instruments. These topics are also aligned with the long-term goals of current and proposed space/solar missions. This meeting will be also useful for future scientific data interpretation from forthcoming new generation ground-based instruments, e.g., the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST, USA), European Solar Telescope (EST, Europe), new Indian facilities (MAST, upcoming 2m-NLST, Aditya-I) and more recently CHROMIS (located alongside CRISP at the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope) which will be able to significantly advance scientific understanding of our solar-terrestrial environment.

Monday, 12 February Magnetised Solar Photosphere: Coupling with Sub-layers, Dynamical Phenomena, Waves

Tuesday, 13 February Chromospheric Dynamics and Heating Processes
