Commission H: Waves in Plasmas
Current Officers
Ashanthi Maxworth
Vice-Chair
Assistant Professor, University of Southern Maine
Description
Commission H encompasses space and laboratory plasmas. The goals of the Commission are:
-
To study waves in plasmas in the broadest sense and, in particular:
- the generation (i.e., plasma instabilities) and propagation of waves in plasmas,
- the interaction between these waves, and wave-particle interactions,
- plasma turbulence processes and chaos,
- spacecraft-plasma interactions;
- To encourage the application of the results of these studies, particularly in the areas of solar/planetary plasma interactions, and the increased exploitation of space as a research laboratory.
