This is the fourteenth edition of the Solar-Terrestrial Physics symposium (STP14), which is organized by the SCOSTEP and held every four years. The underlying theme of these programs is the way the Sun affects the Earth over various timescales. SCOSTEP’s current scientific program, VarSITI expands the solar-terrestrial physics into the broader context of star-planet interaction to further our understanding of Sun-Earth connection.

The scientific sessions of STP14 will feature the three major chains of physical processes operating in the solar-terrestrial domain: (i) the mass chain in the form of plasma and particles emitted from the Sun, (ii) the electromagnetic radiation chain in the form of irradiance and flare emissions, and (iii) the intra-atmospheric chain representing energy flow from the Earth into space.
