The Inner Magnetosphere as a System

Dr. Miyoshi studies the magnetospheric system science, especially, solar wind – inner magnetosphere/radiation belts coupling process and its application to space weather forecast, and energetic electron accelerations and precipitations processes by various kinds of plasma waves. He has analyzed various kinds of data from satellites and ground-based observations and conducted computer simulations as well as data assimilation. He is the project scientist of JAXA Arase (ERG), the manager of the ERG Science Center, and is an editor and associate editor. He also contributes to the international community: bureau member of SCOSTEP, chair of the panel on the radiation environment modeling of COSPAR, and vice president of Space and Planetary Section of Japan Geoscience Union. Dr. Keika was involved in the Van Allen Probes NASA mission as a member of the RBSPICE instrument team, and Arase (ERG), a Japanese mission, as a member of the ERG science center. He has also participated in other heliophysics missions such as MMS, THEMIS, and Cluster, as a member of the science teams. He has worked on transport, heating, acceleration, and loss of energetic plasma in and around the Earth’s magnetosphere during magnetic storms and substorms. He has served as a panel member for the NASA proposal review board, an invited referee for many manuscripts submitted to international journals, and a convener/co-convener for sessions of international meetings/workshops. Dr. Jerry Goldstein is a Senior Program Manager at the Southwest Research Institute, and an Adjoint Professor of Physics at the University of Texas San Antonio. Dr. Goldstein specializes in the dynamics of inner magnetospheres using global imaging observations from missions such as IMAGE and TWINS, and in situ plasma and particle measurements from spacecraft such as RBSP and MMS, complemented by theory and simulation. He is a Fellow of the AGU since receiving the James B. Macelwane medal in 2006. He has served on multiple NASA and NSF review panels including the Solar-Wind-Magnetosphere Interaction panel for the last Decadal Survey and as Associate Editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research, Space Physics.
