Call for Experts for the Committee on Solar and Space Physics

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is seeking suggestions for experts to join the membership of the discipline Committee for Solar and Space Physics (CSSP), which reports to and advises the Space Studies Board. The CSSP provides an independent, authoritative forum for identifying and discussing issues in solar and space physics with the research community, the federal government, and the interested public. The committee supports scientific progress in solar and space physics (heliophysics) by providing advice to the federal government on the implementation of decadal survey recommendations. Using these suggestions, National Academies staff will be looking to fill 3-5 open seats on the committee of approximately 15 total volunteer experts in addition to collecting information for potential speakers, participants, and other forms of engagement. Based on the Statement of Task and the continuing membership of the committee, staff are looking for expertise particularly in the following areas:

Magnetospheres of Earth and Other Planets
Solar Physics
Space Weather
Space Technology/Engineering

We would also be interested in suggestions in the following areas:

Heliospheric Physics
Plasma Physics
Aeronomy
Physics of the Upper Atmospheres of Earth and Other Planets
Solar-Planetary Interactions
Cosmic Ray Physics
We invite you to submit your suggestions by April 21, 2025 AT 11:59 PM via the link here: https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/committee-on-solar-and-space-physics
