Hello everyone,

 

I am very pleased to announce the newly elected Chair of the Coronal Loops Workshops Steering Committee is Durgesh Tripathi. Congratulations Durgesh!

 

With that, my work here is done. It has been a pleasure and tremendous fun to be on the Steering Committee and to serve in the role of Chair through several Loops Workshops. Thank you very much to everyone on the Steering Committee, Scientific Organizing Committees, and Local Organizing Committees, for all of your contributions, help, and support. It was all greatly appreciated!

 

I am delighted to leave the Loops Workshops series in the hands of excellent leaders and looking forward to seeing everyone in person when this ghastly virus business is behind us.

 

All the best,

 

Steve

Subject: Call for Nominations to the Coronal Loops Workshops Steering Committee

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

The Coronal Loops Workshop series, inaugurated in Paris (2002) with the most recent Workshop in St. Andrews (2019), has been tremendously successful in bringing together researchers from all over the world to discuss current problems related to the physics of closed magnetic structures in the solar corona, and to present their progress toward solving them. The Workshops have also provided an excellent venue for young researchers to participate in discussions and to showcase their work.

 

The Steering Committee for the Coronal Loops Workshops is responsible for soliciting and selecting Workshop proposals, and assisting / advising each Scientific Organizing Committee in choosing a topical, over-arching theme and setting an agenda and goals for their Workshop.

 

The current members of the Steering Committee are: Steve Bradshaw [Chair]; David Brooks; Philippa Browning; Ineke De Moortel; Giulio Del Zanna; Viggo Hansteen; Fabio Reale; Paola Testa; Durgesh Tripathi.

 

Three members of the Steering Committee (Steve Bradshaw, Viggo Hansteen, and Paola Testa) have reached the end of their 6 year terms. Since they were elected in 2014 they have been involved in the organization of 3 Loops Workshops (Loops VII – IX).

 

It is now time to elect 3 new members of the Steering Committee. We are soliciting nominations and self-nominations of scientists who are active in the physics of closed magnetic structures in the solar corona, to serve on the Coronal Loops Workshops Steering Committee for a 6 year term. Self-nominations are particularly encouraged to help ensure a diverse pool of candidates to represent the interests of our community.

 

Please submit your nominations and self-nominations to Steve Bradshaw (Steering Committee Chair: stephen.bradshaw@rice.edu) no later than Monday June 8th. The current members of the Steering Committee will vote per the Bylaws and the newly-elected members will be duly contacted and announced directly thereafter.

 

With best wishes,

 

Steve Bradshaw

(on behalf of the Coronal Loops Workshops Steering Committee)
