The second SAMBA meeting was held in Punta Arenas, Chile, Nov 3-5, 2013. The meeting was held at the Institute Antartico Chileno (INACH) building and was supported by the National Science Foundation. The meeting brought together a group of many Chilean and US scientists that have been involved with the SAMBA project, in addition to some new young scientists, students and postdocs, from both countries that are starting their research within the project. Lunch at the conferenceThe meeting reviewed the past 5 years of the project along with the future direction of the project that is included in the proposed iMAGS project. It was an extremely successful meeting that strengthened the ties between the US and Chilean scientists. (Scroll down for presentation slides in .pdf format.)

 

Dinner at the conferenceWe thank NSF for supporting this meeting, INACH for a great job at hosting us and their logistic support of two SAMBA stations, and all the Chilean institutions that are hosting and supporting SAMBA magnetometers: Universidad de Santiago, Universidad de la Serena, Universidad Austral de Chile, Universidad de los Lagos, and Universidad de Magallanes.

 

SAMBA/iMAGs consists of ground-arrays of magnetometers and GPS receivers from the equator to the polar regions in the American and African Sector, and the two networks are therefore ideally suited for longitudinal and hemispheric studies of ULF waves and MI coupling. Apart from providing world class data, the SAMBA project has been instrumental in facilitating intellectual collaboration between US scientists and their Chilean counterparts.
