[Loops] Coronal Loops Workshops Steering Committee: New Chair

[Stephen Bradshaw]

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:  <mailto:stephen.bradshaw at rice.edu>
stephen.bradshaw at 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)
