This conference aims to bring together scientists to review and discuss the current status of research on Alfvén waves in space plasmas, including the solar atmosphere, the solar wind, planetary magnetospheres and ionospheres, and laboratory plasmas (if relevant to space plasmas). Participants will have the opportunity to interact and exchange knowledge/ideas with scientists from the “other” communities in a collegial setting.
Topics: Alfvén wave generation mechanisms, Alfvén wave propagation and coupling, Alfvén wave interactions with plasma and energetic particles, Alfvén wave applications in solar system plasmas
