The Asociación Latinoamericana de Geofísica Espacial (ALAGE) is an autonomous scientific society that attempts to motivate the development of research in Space Geophysics, taking advantage of the human resources and the cultural unity, as well as the similar economic conditions of Latin America. ALAGE seeks to complement the activities of the existing regional geophysical organisms.
One of the main activities of ALAGE is the periodical organization of meetings that are attended by most of the scientists working in the ALAGE areas of interest: the middle and high atmosphere, the ionosphere, the magnetosphere, the interplanetary medium, the cosmic rays, the planets, satellites, minor planets and small bodies, the Sun and the Solar-terrestrial environment. These meetings are called Conferencia Latinoamericana de Geofísica Espacial (COLAGE).
Previous COLAGE workshops have been held in diverse locations: Brazil (1988), Mexico (1991), Cuba, (1993), Argentina (1996), Costa Rica, (1998) Chile (2001), Brazil (2004), Mexico (2007), Costa Rica (2011), Peru (2014), Argentina (2018), and Chile (2021, online).
The XIII COLAGE will be held at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil, from 27th November to 2nd December 2022. The focus of the upcoming COLAGE in São José dos Campos will include the following scientific fields:
- Space Weather
- Ionospheric Research
- Neutral Atmosphere Dynamics
- Solar Physics
- Earth Magnetic Field, including Ground Magnetism
- Interplanetary Magnetic Field, including Magnetospheric Physics
- Non-Linear Processes
