Based on the transitional zones of macro element change, we can outline the 9 geochemical tectonic framework of China, and draw the four horizontal, three vertical and one 10 shield, and basically correspond to the geophysical tectonic framework. Four horizontal is: the 11 variation line of Si-K-Na-Mg content in the Tianshan-Yinshan-Yanshan, K-Na content in the 12 Kunlun mountain –Qinling -Dabie mountain, Si-K-Na content in the Gangdise - 13 Nangqingtanggula, Al-K-Ca-Mg content in Nanling. Three vertical is: the variation line of Al-Fe 14 content in Zhang Guangcai ridge - Qianshan, Greater Hinggan Si-Ca-K-Na- Taihang mountains 15 Ca-Mg - Wuling mountain Ca-Mg content, Helan mountain - Minshan Ca content. One shield 16 area is Yunnan - Guizhou plateau - Emeishan basalt rock area Al-Fe-Ti-Mn and the basic element 17 enrichment region. -

On August 25, 2018 the interplanetary counterpart of the August 20, 2018 Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) hit the Earth, giving rise to a strong G3 geomagnetic storm. We present a description of the whole sequence of events from the Sun to the ground as well as a detailed analysis of the observed effects on the Earth’s environment by using a multi instrumental approach. We studied the ICME propagation in the interplanetary space up to the analysis of its effects in the magnetosphere, 5 ionosphere and at ground. To accomplish this task, we used ground and space collected data, including data from CSES (China Seismo Electric Satellite), launched on February 11, 2018. We found a direct connection between the ICME impact point onto the magnetopause and the pattern of the Earth’s polar electrojects. -

Joint IAGA IASPEI Symposia J1 Earth and Planetary Core Structure and Evolution from Observations and Modelling Conveners
Joint IAGA IASPEI Symposia J1 Earth and planetary core structure and evolution from observations and modelling Conveners: Christopher Davies ([email protected]) Swarandeep Sahoo ([email protected]) Kimberly Moore ([email protected]) Christine Thomas ([email protected]) Recent advances in the theory and observation of planetary cores is providing profound insight into these remote and enigmatic regions. The Juno and Cassini missions have revealed the properties of Jupiter's magnetic and gravity fields in unprecedented detail, while results from forthcoming missions such as BepiColombo and InSight promise a step change in our knowledge of the interior structure and dynamics of terrestrial bodies within our solar system. Complementary theoretical developments have advanced our understanding of nucleation and crystallization of solids within planetary cores and how these processes influence the generation of global magnetic fields over geological timescales. Numerical simulations of the dynamo process are pushing towards the extreme conditions of rapidly rotating magnetic turbulence that are thought to characterize many planetary cores, promising new insights into the field generation process and the origin of observed magnetic secular variation. On Earth, novel seismic data processing techniques are being combined with vast datasets to illuminate core-mantle interactions and anomalous structures in the liquid and solid cores, while mineral physics calculations and experiments are now capable of estimating transport properties at the extreme pressure-temperature conditions of the core-mantle boundary. Observations of Earth's magnetic field magnitude and its secular variation have been used to infer various physical processes such as core flow patterns, inner core growth, thermal and compositional evolution of the core, and their fundamental origin. -

LIMADOU-CSES M. Ricci
LIMADOU-CSES M. Ricci (Resp.), B. Spataro CSES (China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite) is a scientific space mission dedicated to monitoring electromagnetic field and waves, plasma and particle perturbations of the atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere induced by natural sources and anthropocentric emitters and to study their correlations with the occurrence of seismic events. More in general, CSES mission will investigate the structure and the dynamics of the topside ionosphere, the coupling mechanisms with the lower and higher plasma layers and the temporal variations of the geomagnetic field, in quiet and disturbed conditions. Data collected by the mission will also allow studying solar- terrestrial interactions and phenomena of solar physics, namely Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), solar flares and cosmic ray solar modulation. The satellite mission is part of a collaboration program between the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI), and developed by China Earthquake Administration (CEA) and INFN, together with several Chinese and Italian Universities and research Institutes. Italy participates to the CSES mission with the LIMADOU project funded by ASI in collaboration with the Universities of Roma Tor Vergata, Uninettuno, Trento, Bologna and Perugia, as well as the INFN-LNF, INGV (Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology) and INAF-IAPS (Italian National Institute of Astrophysics and Planetology). This program has been selected in Italy to be funded by the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) in the context of the programs "Premiali". The launch of CSES, the first of a series of several planned satellite missions, took place successfully on February 2nd, 2018 from the Jiuquan, Gansu Cosmodrome (Inner Mongolia). -

WWW.OEAW.AC.AT REPORT 2017 REPORT ANNUAL WWW.IWF.OEAW.AC.AT ANNUAL REPORT 2017 COVER IMAGE NASA's Cassini spacecraft has been on an epic road trip, as this graphic of its orbits around the Saturn system shows. This picture traces Cassini's orbits from Saturn orbit insertion in June 2004 through the end of the mission in September 2017. Saturn is in the center, with the orbit of its largest moon Titan in red and the orbits of its six other inner satellites in white. Cassini's prime mission is shown in green. Its first mission extension is shown in orange. The completed orbits of its second mission extension are shown in purple. Orbits after Cassini's 15th anniversary of launch, on 15 October 2012, appear in dark gray. These include orbits that pass inside Saturn's innermost ring, which started in April 2017 (Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech).

The High-Energy Particle Detector (HEPD) on Board the CSES Mission
Space Weather of the Heliosphere: Processes and Forecasts Proceedings IAU Symposium No. 335, 2017 c International Astronomical Union 2018 C. Foullon & O.E. Malandraki, eds. doi:10.1017/S1743921317008328 The High-Energy Particle Detector (HEPD) on Board the CSES Mission Vincenzo Vitale1, for the CSES/HEPD collaboration 1 Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI) Science Data Center and INFN, Sezione di Roma “Tor Vergata” I-00133 Roma, Italy email: [email protected] Abstract. The High-Energy Particle Detector (HEPD) will measure electrons, protons and light nuclei fluxes, in low Earth orbit. This detector consists of a high precision silicon tracker, a versatile trigger system, a range-calorimeter and an anti-coincidence system. It is one of the instruments on board the China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES). HEPD can detect multi-MeV particles trapped within the geomagnetic field. When operated at large latitudes HEPD can also detect un-trapped solar particles and low energy cosmic rays. A detailed de- scription of the HEPD will be given. 1. Introduction The High-Energy Particle Detector (HEPD) is a space experiment for the detection of electrons from 3 to 100 MeV, protons from 30 to 300 MeV and light nuclei up to few hundreds of MeV. HEPD will be flown on the CSES satellite (Shen et al. 2011), together with several other instrument, for the study of the low Earth orbit (LEO) electromagnetic environment (ionosphere, magnetosphere and Van Allen belts). The CSES satellite will have a 98 degrees inclination Sun-synchronous circular orbit, an altitude of 500 km and an expected lifetime is 5 of years. -
