PPARC ADVANCED SUMMER SCHOOL: SOLAR MHD
September 4 - September 9
University of Leeds
Organisers: Dr Steve Tobias, Professor David Hughes (Leeds)
This Summer School will provide PhD students with a broad understanding
of solar physics outside their PhD subject area. We will include a
combination of theoretical and observational issues to give a broad
overview of the important physical processes involved. However, each talk
will cover not only the basics but also the current state of the art as
identified by a leading member of the relevant research community.
A preliminary programme is outlined below. We will have a poster session
and student presentations. It is anticipated that we will have
approximately 20 PPARC students and up to 20 non-PPARC students.
