IX Brazilian Symposium on Space Geophysics and Aeronomy
The Brazilian Symposium on Space Geophysics and Aeronomy is a traditional scientific event that takes place every two years since 2006. The nineth edition (9th SBGEA) will be held in the city of Araguatins, Tocantins state, for the first time in the Northern Region of Brazil. The main goal of this event is to bring together the Brazilian Space Geophysics and Aeronomy community for discussing recent scientific results, establish and strengthen cooperation and academic interchange, besides to plan future actions for these science areas in Brazil. Also, an important objective of the SBGEA meeting is to facilitate the approaches of students to professors and researchers, promoting a fruitful interchange of ideas and experiences.
The Space Geophysics and Aeronomy areas are interdisciplinary scientific fields that explore the near-Earth space, the interplanetary medium and its relationships to the Sun and Earth's Atmosphere. The SBGEA organization involve around 13 Universities and Research Institutes of Brazil, and typically more than 100 scientists and students attend this event. In the seventh edition of the SBGEA Symposium, it will be included other important areas related to Aeronomy and Space Geophysics, such as Meteorology, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, and Computing Science.
