The Division on Solar-Terrestrial Sciences (ST) considers all aspects of solar and heliospheric physics, specifically the solar-terrestrial connection. It covers the physical processes occurring on the Sun, in the solar wind, as well as in Earth’s magnetosphere and ionosphere. Solar activity (e.g. coronal mass ejections, solar flares, solar energetic particle events) and the response of the near-Earth space environment to these solar phenomena are studied on a wide-range of temporal and spatial scales. Data analysis and interpretation of space-borne and ground-based data, as well as theoretical studies and different modelling techniques are used to better our understanding of how our local star defines the neighbourhood that we live in.

Newly released: Aurora Handbook and Field Guide for citizen science studies in view of the upcoming SolarMaX campaign
Given the recent surge in solar and geomagnetic activity, spectacular auroral displays have been visible down to the mid-latitudes several times since the beginning of 2024. But it is not always so easy to know when to go out, where to look, and how to take good pictures of the aurora. And what if the observations collected by seasoned and first-time aurora chasers could help in advancing the science? The ARCTICS (Auroral Research Coordination: Towards Internationalised Citizen Science) working group, …

ST-ECS Networking Campfire – How to convene a scientific session
Convening a session at academic conferences is no doubt time-consuming, but they are also the primary catalysts for establishing a research network and significantly boosting your academic profile. Particularly for Early Career Scientists (ECS), the idea of convening a session can be fearful and many worry that they don’t know how to do it or whether they can wrap up the session smoothly. The ECS team of the Solar-Terrestrial (ST) division of the European Geophysical Union (EGU) is organizing a …
