1. Physics of isolated substorms
   1. Sequence of events during isolated substorms
   2. Role of reconnection (in plasma sheet, lobes) and ionospheric signatures of substorm-related reconnection
   3. Role of fast plasma flow within plasma sheet and ionosphere
   4. Role of magnetosphere-ionosphere electrodynamical coupling
   5. Role of waves, instabilities and turbulence
   6. Substorm current distribution, closure, and connection to large-scale current system
   7. Connections between inner and outer plasma sheet
2. Towards understanding and quantifying the coupling of loading-unloading with magnetospheric circulation
   1. Under a variety of solar wind conditions
   2. During different geomagnetic conditions (storms, convection bays, sawtooth events, quiet times)
   3. Effects on ring current, plasmasphere, ionospheric convection, large-scale field-aligned current generation
   4. Modeling and parameterization of substorm process and consequences
   5. Predictions of unloading events and their consequences in particle and field distributions and geomagnetic indices
