Understanding the interaction, heating, transport, and acceleration processes of the geospace plasmas is one of the main objectives of space plasma physics and of solar terrestrial physics. The specific objectives are to investigate the dissipation processes in the magnetospheric and ionospheric environment like magnetic reconnection, turbulent heating and acceleration, turbulent transport, and the influence of shear flows on the development of turbulence, as described in the four work packages: 1. Magnetic reconnection; 2. Turbulent acceleration; 3. Shear flows; 4. Plasma transport and acceleration in planetary magnetospheres. This is by a coordinated theoretical, numerical, and experimental data analysis effort.
