| Session Description | This session provides a forum to present and discuss the history and development of solar terrestrial (ST) sciences. Reports on the recently completed and newly started international and national ST programs are also welcome. Solar terrestrial sciences started centuries ago. The revised sunspot series opens a new chapter in the history of longest-running science experiment. The ST sciences branched into different disciplines. Starting with naked eye to highly sophisticated novel experimental techniques, observations have revealed the secrets of the Sun, heliosphere, magnetosphere, plasmasphere and ionosphere-atmosphere components of the ST system. Theories and theoretical modeling have been developed for the different components independently and together. World-wide efforts under different umbrella are being persuaded to understand the challenges of the ST system. Papers and reports dealing with the history and developments of ST sciences through observations, theory and modeling are solicited. |
