Dear colleagues,

There is one week left to submit abstracts to this year's AGU Fall Meeting, a hybrid meeting with both in-person and virtual components. We invite you to submit an abstract to the fourth-annual installment of our session for next-generation remote-sensing missions. Like last year, this year the focus includes all remote sensing, including imaging, spectroscopy, polarimetry, and combinations of those, plus anything else I'm missing. Given the imminent Decadal Survey, we encourage submissions with an eye both for near-term _and_ long-term (decadal or beyond) timescales for development.

Session link and description are below. Deadline is 11:59pm EDT on Aug 4th (next Wednesday).

We look forward to your exciting submissions!

SH017 - High-Energy Solar Investigations Through Next-Generation Remote Sensing: Spectroscopy, Imaging, and Beyond

Energetic processes on the Sun, including particle acceleration and plasma heating during flares and quiescence, emit signatures across the electromagnetic spectrum, from X-rays/gamma-rays, through UV/EUV, to infrared and radio. Recent measurements from numerous solar observatories including RHESSI; SDO; MinXSS; SphinX; the FOXSI, Hi-C, EUNIS, and EVE rockets; the GRIPS balloon; EOVSA; and many others; and from opportunistic observations by non-solar observatories such as NuSTAR, Fermi, ALMA, and VLA, have significantly advanced our understanding of these phenomena. They have also shown the pressing need for increasingly advanced high-resolution, high-sensitivity measurements across the entire spectrum, including polarimetry and especially imaging spectroscopy, to gain further insight into these high-energy processes.

This session invites presentations covering new instrumentation, enabling technology, missions, and concepts for next-generation solar remote sensing -- including spectroscopy, imaging, and beyond -- aimed at studying high-energy (hot and non-thermal) aspects of the Sun, and the science enabled by such new observations.
