Welcome
The Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) program is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric Sciences initiative to coordinate and focus research on the near-earth portion of geospace from the lower ionosphere to where the earth system interacts with the solar wind. The purpose of the GEM program is to support basic research into the dynamical and structural properties of geospace, leading to the construction of a global geospace general circulation (GGCM) model with predictive capability. The GGCM effort is now being treated as a separate campaign. The strategy for achieving GEM goals is to undertake a series of campaigns, in both theory and observational modes, each focusing on particular aspects of the geospace environment.
Virtual GEM 2021 Information
The 2021 GEM Summer workshop will be a Virtual meeting, in a similar format as 2020 VGEM but extending over the full week of July 25-30, 2021.
Details
Due to continuing uncertainties with the COVID-19 pandemic, the GEM Steering Committee decided to hold a fully virtual meeting in 2021. The Workshop Organizers continue negotiations with the hotel in Hawaii regarding the possibility to postpone the in-person summer workshop until 2022. The Steering Committee will provide feedback to the community once an agreement with the hotel is reached and plans are finalized. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Location
Online. Information will be available at the GEM workshop website as time approaches.
Important Dates
- Jul 26 to Jul 30 with a GEM Student Day on Jul 25.
Support for this workshop is made possible by the National Science Foundation.
