APPLY NOW for the 2025 NASA Heliophysics Summer School
UCAR Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS) is now accepting applications for this unique summer school focusing on the physics of space weather events that start at the Sun and influence atmospheres, ionospheres, and magnetospheres throughout the solar system.
When
The Summer School will take place in Boulder, Colorado on UCAR's campus from August 11-20, 2025.
Open to PhD Graduate Students, and 1st and 2nd year Postdoctoral Researchers. Admission is competitive; up to 25 students are selected to attend this year. The deadline for applications is January 31, 2025.
2025 Theme: Data-Driven Heliophysics Exploration and Discovery
During the 2025 Summer School, participants will explore how similar concepts and principles of heliophysics apply under different conditions. The summer school will focus on universal processes in heliophysics such as dynamos, plasma flows, magnetic reconnection, and particle acceleration. Examples of these processes in action will include the dynamics and evolution of the Sun and other stars, solar and stellar atmospheres and winds, and planetary magnetospheres and ionospheres. The implications for planetary atmospheres and climate, planetary evolution, and exoplanetary habitability will be considered.
The deadline for applications is January 31, 2025
Run by NASA's Living With a Star program and UCAR/CPAESS since 2007, the Heliophysics Summer School focuses on the physics of space weather events that start at the Sun and influence atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres throughout the solar system.
