Dear Colleagues.
We would like to invite you to submit contributed abstracts to the “Interactions and Deflections in the Inner Heliosphere: Consequences for Space-Weather Prediction” session at the upcoming Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) in Japan later this year. The full session description is given below. The 11th Annual AOGS meeting will take place in Sapporo, Japan, 28 July to 01 August 2014. The Conference WebPages can be found here: http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2014/ along with relevant link to the Mars Login for submitting abstracts as well as a link the list of Important Dates and links to other pertinent information.
The abstract-submission deadline is Tuesday 11 February 2014. The full abstract-submission details are given here: http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2014/public.asp?page=abstract.htm; but please note that the AOGS Conference Fee only covers two abstracts – any more than two abstracts to be presented by the same person would require additional fees.
Thank you in advance and we look forward to seeing you in Japan this coming summer!
Best regards,
Mario (on behalf of the ST29 Convenors).

ST29: “Interactions and Deflections in the Inner Heliosphere: Consequences for Space-Weather Prediction”
The propagation of the solar material from the Sun to Earth and its prediction can be affected in many ways. Two potentially-serious effects which often have too little consideration for space-weather forecasting, particularly through numerical models, include the physical effects of interactions between transients and the deflection of transient events by the solar wind while propagating from the Sun to the Earth. This session will allow for extensive discussions of these interactions and deflections, and will also address the consequences they have for current space-weather forecasting capabilities as well as how improvements could be made for our future understanding of the physics and of the forecasting.
