Subject:
2nd Volga Summer School on Space Plasma Physics
ANNOUNCEMENT
Second Volga International
Summer School
on Space Plasma Physics
Nizhniy Novgorod/Volga River, Russia, June, 13-21,
1995
Organised by
Radiophysical Research Institute
(NIRFI) Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia
and
Swedish Institute of Space Physics
(IRFU) Uppsala, Sweden
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The
purpose of the school is to give an introduction to the problems of
linear
and non-linear space plasma physics, ionospheric modification, and
the use of
the ionosphere as a space plasma laboratory.
TOPICS
THAT WILL BE COVERED INCLUDE
Linear plasma waves
Wave-wave interactions and non-linear waves in space plasma
Waves in random media and
turbulence
Radio methods for
investigating the near-Earth space plasma environment
Solar and stellar coronal plasma
Plasma under extreme conditions in
space
Model experiments in the Earth's ionosphere
as a means of understanding
plasma phenomena in other environments
