About Space Climate 8 Symposium

The Space Climate Symposia Series brings together leading experts in the field of space climate. The objectives of the Symposia are three-fold:

1. to better understand the causes and effects of long-term variations in solar activity, with a focus on the solar magnetic dynamo, and how the magnetic field it generates produces the various phenomena collectively making up solar activity: e.g., sunspots, flares, coronal mass ejections, coronal holes, high-speed solar wind streams etc;
2. to better understand how the varying solar activity affects the near-Earth space, atmosphere and even climate, on time scales ranging from a few solar rotations up to several millennia;
3. to better understand the intricacies of the various datasets used to make inferences about long-term solar variations: e.g., the sunspot number time series and geomagnetic observations.
