Multiscale geospace physics in Canada

Abstract

This chapter reviews the Canadian solar terrestrial science program that is rapidly evolving in both appearance and contents. The new Canadian perspective is based on a keen awareness of the multiscale character of geospace and on a realistic yet innovative outlook, which integrates Canada's strengths into national efforts emphasizing the use of multiinstrument techniques to attack multiscale complexities in problems. It discusses four major sections: a description of the plan to enhance Canada's leadership position in ground-based geospace science, centered on the Canadian Geospace Monitoring program; a description of Canada's latest effort to achieve major breakthroughs in the understanding of geospace transition region dynamics, centered on the Canadian small satellite experiment ePOP; a description of Canada's participations in three major international geospace missions; and a description of two potential new Canadian-led geospace missions.
