Subject: Sverdrup Lecture Program, April 16-17
Submitter: Jeanine A Gregoire, Associate Professor, Education

Message: Sverdrup Public Lecture
Free and Open to the Public
"Exploring the Giant Magnetosphere of Jupiter"
April 16 - 8:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Hoversten Chapel, Foss Center; Parking in Lot L off of 25th Ave. and Riverside, Minneapolis.

Abstract: Jupiter is a planet of superlatives: it is the most massive planet in the solar system, rotates the fastest, has the strongest magnetic field, and has the most massive satellite system of any planet. These unique properties lead to active volcanoes on Io, a ton per second of sulfur and oxygen being spewed out of the moon, a vast population of energetic plasma trapped in the planet's strong magnetic field, and intense auroral emissions in Jupiter's polar atmosphere. The giant magnetosphere of Jupiter has been explored by telescopes on Earth, Hubble Space Telescope, several spacecraft flying past the planet plus the Galileo spacecraft that spent seven years in orbit. This talk will discuss our current understanding of this huge, dynamic structure and present what we hope to learn from the New Horizons spacecraft as it flies down Jupiter's magnetotail on its way to Pluto (spring 2007) and from the Juno mission (launch due in 2011) that will skim over Jupiter's poles.

Divisional Colloquium
“Women in Physics & Astronomy: Moving Beyond 'the Woman Problem'”
April 17 - Noon-1:00, Minneapolis Room, Christiansen Center; Parking in Lot L off of 25th Ave. and Riverside.

Abstract: Statistical studies of demographics by professional organizations such as the American Institute of Physics show practical reasons for moving from "how do we help these poor women" to "how to educate/hire/retain the talent we needed to supply a technical-trained workforce." Dr. Bagenal will discuss the professional pipeline, where it is leaky and how it can be fixed - including allowing for multiple pathways.

Biography: Fran Bagenal came to the US from England in 1976 to attend graduate school at MIT where she worked on data from the Voyager mission for her PhD. Her primary research interests are the magnetic fields of planets, the charged particles trapped in planetary magnetic fields and the interactions of moons with the particles and fields that surround them. She has been involved in the Voyager mission (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune), Galileo (Jupiter), Deep Space 1 (Comet Borrelly), the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the Juno mission to Jupiter's polar regions. She is Professor of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences in the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Funding for the Sverdrup Visiting Scientist Lecture Program made possible through the Sverdrup Endowment Fund, Augsburg College and the Minnesota Space Grant Consortium.

We will hike, bike, climb, walk, swim, kayak, canoe, or simply sit or stand with banners of our call to action.

All in all, the day should end up in history textbooks until the end of time as this will truly be the largest gathering to demand consideration of our environment in our Nation's storied history. If you would like to take part in an important, once in a life time event that may help trigger a dramatic improvement in the U.S.'s consideration concerning the IPCC's recent discussion about climate change, we need your support! Tim Doughery has organized an event with Augsburg students, faculty, and staff in mind and here is what he has said:

This Saturday, April 14th, at 10:00 am, we will meet at Bohemian Flats (just south of Washington Avenue Bridge on West River Parkway, Minneapolis) for an informal and fun Mississippi River clean up.

At 11:30, we will take our StepItUp picture to preserve us all in posterity. Please make sure that if you cannot attend the entire event, that you will be there for the picture! We want to increase our impact.

Post 11:30, we will begin our bike pilgrimage to the event at the Capitol steps in St. Paul. We will also photograph our "bike party" so please join the fray with us if you are willing and able!

In addition, if any of you are interested in making the Step It Up banner, contacting the media or our government representatives, and/or adding to the event in any way, please contact Tim as soon as possible! 612.330.1208 or doughert@augsburg.edu
