Heliophysics Science Division Seminar

About the Seminar

The Heliophysics Science Division conducts weekly science seminars. Heliophysics is a division in the Sciences and Exploration Directorate at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Seminars are held on Wednesdays at 1:00pm in the Building 21 Conference Room 183A at Goddard and virtually (the virtual link is sent to 670 staff and other interested parties). The topics cover the interests of the Heliophysics Science Division, including astrochemistry, interplanetary physics, solar physics, planetary systems, planetary magnetospheres, and electrodynamics.

Have an Idea for a Speaker?

The seminar organizer (currently Dylan Kee, dylan.kee@nasa.gov) always appreciates suggestions for seminar speakers. Please contact him EARLY to claim an open slot and avoid scheduling conflicts.

Outside of NASA?

If you are outside of the NASA network and would like to view weekly seminars remotely, please contact the seminar organizer and request to be added to the HSD Seminar distribution list.

Information for Speakers and Visitors

The duration of the seminar is typically one hour, with questions asked during and after the seminar. The audience is usually diverse, including scientists with interests ranging throughout the heliosphere. Visit the Heliophysics Science Division Home Page for a more complete summary of interests

As most of you know, in the last few years it has become harder to get visitors from outside of NASA on center, and the number of days needed to get unescorted access is subject to change. Thus we ask that if a visitor wants to attend a talk and needs a non-escort badge they should request one as soon as possible. We will help to the best of our ability, but can't make any guarantees.
