Announcement of Autumn MIST 2018

Autumn MIST will be held at the Geological Society (opposite the Royal Astronomical Society) at Burlington House, in London, on Friday 30 November 2018. The meeting will commence at 10:30 and will include a poster session, lightning talks, and oral sessions. The registration fee will be £20, and we can only accept on-the-door payments in cash. Although the meeting will start at 10:30, we will have access to the Lecture Theatre and Lower Library from 09:30. Tea and coffee will be provided during the poster session.

Abstract submissions

The theme of the meeting is The radiation belts at 60: Earth and beyond, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the discovery of Earth’s radiation belts by Explorer 1. Richard Horne (British Antarctic Survey) will be giving an invited talk on this topic entitled “The Van Allen Radiation Belts: Early History and Current Challenges”. Abstracts on this theme are particularly welcome, but are also welcome from all areas of MIST science.
 
Abstracts should be submitted by the end of Thursday 1 November, and can be submitted by clicking here. Please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you encounter any problems with the submission process.

Lightning talk submissions

This year we are accepting lightning talk submissions, which can be submitted in addition to abstracts. Lightning talks are short (up to 2 minutes) with a maximum of 1 presentation slide. This format is ideal for presenting new datasets, upcoming missions, analysis techniques, or public engagement projects. We emphasise that lightning talks should not be a poster advert.

Lightning talks can be submitted by clicking here and must also be received by the end of Thursday 1 November.
