The Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) summer workshop was held in San Diego
San Diego, CA (June 21, 2023) – The Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) summer workshop was held on June 11 – 16, 2023 in San Diego at the Wyndham San Diego Bayside hotel.
GEM workshop is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to coordinate research on geospace research, including the Earth’s ionized space environment and the impact of the solar activities to the Earth’s space system. The purpose of the GEM program is to support basic research into the dynamical and structural properties of geospace, leading to the construction of a global geospace model with predictive capability. This year, over 300 attendees joined GEM in San Diego from about 20 states across United States as well as from Europe and Asia (e.g. Japan, Korean, and China).
Speech from the President of the GEM, Adam Kellerman
The GEM workshop has a long history of providing financial aid to student participants. Student representatives organized the Student Day Forum on Sunday June 11, and students with research experiences gave tutorials on various topics.
The GEM workshop developed a GEMMEE Mentoring program, which is by the GEM Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) subcommittee to encourage an intergenerational exchange of professional knowledge, expertise, skills, insights, and experiences with the goal of elevating the career of future GEM scientists. Under the GEMEE program, mentees can grow their professional network, learn to navigate professional challenges, and build their career path, while mentors can develop effective communication skills, connect with early-career scientists, advance their leadership skills, and gain a broader understanding of their field.
