The eighteenth annual RF Ionospheric Interactions Workshop will be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, beginning on Sunday, April 15, and ending on Wednesday, April 18, 2012. The focus of the workshop is on the interaction of high-power RF waves from ground-based transmitters with the ionospheric plasma and resultant phenomena such as the generation of ELF waves, ionospheric irregularities, and induced optical emissions.The workshop begins on Sunday afternoon with a student tutorial session on the subject of Solar-Terrestrial Relations. On the other days invited presentations will be given on recent theoretical and experimental advances plus discussion sessions on research topics of great current interest. Submission of poster papers is encouraged for a session scheduled on Monday afternoon.There also will be presentations on current capabilities of high-power RF ionospheric interaction facilities (Arecibo, HAARP, SURA and SPEAR).
