IAGA Symposium IS213/303: Dynamics of the Magnetotail and High-Latitude
                          Nightside Ionosphere

At the upcoming IUGG/IAGA meeting in Boulder, Colorado, July 2-14,
1995, we will convene a symposium on the dynamics of the magnetotail
and high-latitude nightside ionosphere.  This symposium will focus 
on the physics of the magnetotail and its coupling to the 
ionosphere.  Topics will include the IMF control of tail structure 
and plasma convection, plasma heating and acceleration in the tail,
plasmoid/flux rope formation and development, correspondence between
various precipitation regions and internal structures of the tail, 
causes and consequences of the upstreaming ions from the nightside 
ionosphere, and kinetic properties of the tail plasma and their 
relation to macroscopic dynamics.

The Symposium is planned for 3 (Monday) and 4 (Tuesday) July 
according to the provisional timetable published in the IAGA News.

We invite your participation through submitted contributions. The 
abstract deadline is February 1, 1995 at AGU Headquarters.  Please 
contact AGU for more information.  The address is

IUGG XXI General Assembly
