FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT: International Chapman Conference on Low-Frequency Waves in Space Plasmas, Jeju Island, South Korea, September 1-5, 2014

Low-frequency waves (ULF, ELF and VLF) in space plasmas have been studied for many decades. In our solar system, such waves occur in the magnetospheres of planets and in the solar wind; more recently they have also been confirmed on the Sun. In spite of the great differences in the plasma properties of these regions, the overarching schemes are wave generation, wave propagation, and wave dissipation, which are three fundamental aspects of any kind of waves. A fourth aspect of these waves is their application, either with direct benefit to humans or for scientific pursuit. Therefore, this Chapman conference will provide a forum in which various wave communities can come together and discuss recent achievements of observational, theoretical, and modeling studies.

To build up a comprehensive picture, this Chapman conference will address low-frequency waves (ULF/ELF/VLF) in various space plasmas, including:

• Earth's magnetosphere & ionosphere
• Planetary magnetospheres & ionospheres (other than Earth)
• Solar wind (including upstream waves)
• Solar atmosphere
