MOP Conference
What is the MOP Conference?
The CU MOP group is one of many space science research groups that participate in international conferences on the Magnetospheres of Outer Planets. The main purpose of the conference is to enhance understanding of the physical processes that control the magnetospheres of the four giant planets through presentation of recent studies, discussions, and collaborative research. The conferences are usually held every other summer. A graph of number of talks/posters over the years may be found here.
Below are past MOP conferences listed with links to their home pages, as well as group photos. For typos or contribution of content, please contact (email).
