The sixteenth annual RF Ionospheric Interactions Workshop will be held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, beginning on Sunday, April 18, and ending on Wednesday, April 21, 2010. 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 titled "Basic Physics of Ionospheric Heating." In the other sessions invited presentations will be given on recent theoretical and experimental advances. 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). The workshop concludes on Wednesday morning with an open discussion on recent collaborative experiments and on the planning of future collaborative experiments.
