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 – here. Survey of opinions taken at 2015 Atlanta MOP – here.
Recorded tutorials and invited talks from the Boston MOP are here – thoroughly recommended.
