Visions of Future Innovation Across Space Physics and Aeronomy (SPA)

Session ID#: 82446

Session Description:
This is the 3rd year of the successful session on innovative ideas across the SPA field, demonstrating that the community is embracing the need for thinking outside the box. This year, at the mark of AGU’s Centennial, we again solicit new and diverse visions, specifically targeting the areas where there are gaps in our understanding that can and should be filled, particularly in coupling interdisciplinary areas. These gaps prevent closure, hamper progress and challenge the necessary transitions in Space Weather R2O2R. We welcome papers addressing scientific, technological, and social challenges across space physics. This session will also highlight a new SPA-wide award on innovation anticipated for 2020.
