The ST Division 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 modeling techniques are used
to better our understanding of how our local star defines the
neighborhood that we live in.

ST-ECS networking campfire event
The EGU Solar–Terrestrial physics (ST) division’s early-career scientist (ECS) team is organising a so-called Campfire event to gather the community together before EGU22 and promote networking among ST-ECSs. The event will be held on Zoom and will take place on Friday 18 March 2022 at 15:00 CET, for a duration of one hour. We will make use of breakout rooms to facilitate discussions in smaller groups on topics of interest to ECSs. You can register for the meeting here. Agenda …
