This proposal requests travel funds for participants to attend the AGU Chapman Conference on Currents in Geospace and Beyond, which will be held 22-27 May 2016 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Chapman Conferences are topical meetings sponsored by the American Geophysical Union that are designed to provide opportunities for detailed scientific discussion that is not possible at large meetings such as the Fall AGU meeting. This funding will be used mainly for U.S. students and young researchers but may be used for invited speakers if necessary. New knowledge has been accumulating over the sixteen years since the last Chapman conference on this topic due to progress in observations and global models. The timing is appropriate to bring together researchers to develop a clearer understanding of the state of the field, the open questions, the needed new observations and the capabilities in global models. This conference will enable U.S. students and early career scientists to meet and network with international experts. The conference monograph will provide an up-date look at the state of the research and at the outstanding unsolved questions, which is valuable for both research and education purposes. Electric currents in space, the focus of the conference, are key to the plasma and magnetic field structures that develop in near-Earth space, at the Sun, at other planets, and in astrophysical objects. The conference has three objectives, namely: (1) to deepen understanding of electric currents in space plasmas, (2) to leverage new multi-satellite data sets, new and expanded ground-based facilities and next-generation global models that were not available during the previous conference on this topic in 1999, and (3) to enrich the discussion by fostering an interaction between researchers who study currents in vastly different space environments (i.e., the Sun, planets and Earth). The observations, models and researchers are inherently international. Attendance is anticipated to be 120-140 scientists.

该提案要求为参加将于 2016 年 5 月 22 日至 27 日在克罗地亚杜布罗夫尼克举行的 AGU 查普曼地球空间及其他领域电流会议的与会者提供旅费。 查普曼会议是由美国地球物理联盟主办的专题会议，旨在提供详细的科学讨论的机会，而这在秋季 AGU 会议等大型会议上是不可能的。 这笔资金将主要用于美国学生和年轻研究人员，但如有必要也可用于受邀演讲者。自上次关于这一主题的查普曼会议以来的十六年里，由于观测和全球模型的进展，新知识不断积累。 现在正是让研究人员聚集在一起的时机，以便更清楚地了解该领域的现状、悬而未决的问题、所需的新观察结果以及全球模型的能力。这次会议将使美国学生和早期职业科学家能够与国际专家会面并建立联系。 会议专着将提供对研究现状和未解决的突出问题的最新看法，这对于研究和教育目的都很有价值。 太空中的电流是会议的焦点，它是近地空间、太阳、其他行星和天体物理物体中形成的等离子体和磁场结构的关键。 会议有三个目标，即：（1）加深对空间等离子体电流的理解，（2）利用新的多卫星数据集、新的和扩展的地面设施以及尚不可用的下一代全球模型1999 年关于该主题的上一次会议期间，(3) 通过促进研究截然不同的空间环境（即太阳、行星和地球）中的电流的研究人员之间的互动来丰富讨论。 观察、模型和研究人员本质上是国际性的。 预计出席人数为 120-140 名科学家。
