This session is dedicated to the electromagnetic environment and the physical processes responsible for acceleration, loss, and transport of energetic particles involving wave-particle interactions, either caused naturally or by man-made active experiments within geosynchronous orbit. Complexity arises from the variability of the waves/processes with (magnetic)-local-time, geomagnetic activities, etc., with a strong influence of the cold plasma density background. In the near-Earth space, loss associated with wave-particle interactions cause atmospheric precipitation important and hard to predict for climate impact. Particle injections from substorms and local acceleration from chorus waves occur, competing with and obscuring slower processes. All these processes affect ultimately the energetic particle environment near Earth. This session solicits observational studies from one/multiple satellite/CubeSats missions, ground measurements, active experiments, and numerical studies involving particles (electrons/ions/protons) dynamics (transport/loss/acceleration), electromagnetic waves (mapping, growth, properties, effects), wave-particle interactions, large-scale electric/magnetic fields, substorm injections, the plasmasphere, effects in the ionosphere and atmospheric precipitation.
