The Division on Solar-Terrestrial Sciences (ST) considers all aspects of solar and heliospheric physics, specifically the solar-terrestrial connection. It covers the physical processes occurring on the Sun, in the solar wind, as well as in Earth’s magnetosphere and ionosphere. Solar activity (e.g. coronal mass ejections, solar flares, solar energetic particle events) and the response of the near-Earth space environment to these solar phenomena are studied on a wide-range of temporal and spatial scales. Data analysis and interpretation of space-borne and ground-based data, as well as theoretical studies and different modelling techniques are used to better our understanding of how our local star defines the neighbourhood that we live in.

Meet our divisions ECS team that organized events throughout 2023-2024
Hi, this is your ST-ECS team 2023-2024. We are a group of Early Career Scientists (ECSs) of the Solar-Terrestrial (ST) division, and we organize events and activities with and for ST-ECS, both during the EGU General Assembly and throughout the year. Our aim is to increase the visibility of ECSs and provide you with opportunities for networking. Dr. Liliana Macotela, ECS Representative Liliana is a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Bath, UK. Her research focuses on studying the …

Events organized for early career scientists (ECS) by the ST-ECS Team during EGU24
The EGU General Assembly is around the corner, and we would like to advertise the events the Early-Career Scientist (ECS) Team of our Division have been preparing to create networking opportunities for ECSs. Solar-Terrestrial ECS Drinks: preGA Icebreaker Get-together for all ST ECSs before the opening reception. We’re meeting up at 15:00 hours in front of the entrance of the name badges collection area. From there and if the weather allows, we move to Copa Beach (near the venue). Later …
