“Key processes in Solar-Terrestrial Physics” deals with a nice selection of key phenomena concerning Solar-Terrestrial relations. During the week of October 4- 9, 2009, about 160 participants from 19 countries met at the Itamambuca resort area of Ubatuba, Sao Paulo, Brazil to discuss the influence of solar. variability on geophysical and heliospheric phenomena at a conference organized by the International Living With a Star (ILWS) Program of NASA and by the National Institute of. Space Research (INPE) of Brazil. Five of the invited reviewtalks of this Conference are being published in this special issue, plus one (on magnetospheric reconnection) especially invited to cover a missing important subject within the Solar-Terrestrial physics domain. Previously published in Space Science Reviews journal, Vol. 158/1, 2011. Presents the most important new research results of the International Living With a Star program. Edited by well-known members of the solar-terrestrial community. Deals with a significant fraction of the important key phenomena insolar-terrestrial relations INDICE: Key processes in solar-terrestrial physics. Global properties of solar flares. Grad-Shafranov reconstruction of magnetic flux ropes in the near-earth space. Interplanetary origin of intense, superintense and extreme geomagnetic storms. Physics of magnetospheric variability. Electron physics of asymmetric magnetic field reconnection. Low latitude ionospheric electrodynamics.
