IN THE COMING PROJECT PERIOD WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT MMS MISSION GOALS, THROUGH STUDY OF PLASMA TURBULENCE, RECONNECTION, PLASMA ENERGIZATION AND HEATING, SEEKING UNDERSTANDING AT A FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS LEVEL. ACCORDINGLY, MOST OF OUR STUDIES WILL INVOLVE DETAILED ANALYSIS OF MMS DATA, BOTH IN AN INDIVIDUAL EVENT/INTERVAL BASIS AND IN A SURVEY BASIS. WE ALSO COMPLEMENT OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES WITH INFORMATIVE NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS, BOTH MHD AND KINETIC PLASMA.
