<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear CEDARians,</div><div><br></div><div>I'm reaching out to invite
interested parties to submit an abstract to an
ionospheric/magnetospheric cusp session. You can find more details on
the page for the session <a href="https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu26/prelim.cgi/Session/280391" target="_blank">here</a>, but I include the abstract and title for convenience below. Please reach out if you have any questions about it.</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b><span>SM017</span> - Multiscale Dynamics and Evolution of Reconnection, Cusp Processes, and Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling</b></div><div><br></div><div>Recent advances in observations have enabled unprecedented insight into
magnetic reconnection and particle dynamics in Earth's dayside cusp.
This session focuses on dayside magnetic reconnection, its
spatiotemporal variability, and the resulting changes in cusp plasma
populations and electromagnetic signatures. We also encourage
contributions that explore broader aspects of geospace coupling,
including investigations of magnetospheric processes along extended
orbital trajectories and connections between the cusp, boundary layers,
and inner magnetosphere. Topics of interest include multiscale energy
and momentum transfer, the role of solar wind drivers and IMF conditions
in controlling cusp dynamics, and comparisons with global and kinetic
models. Studies leveraging multi-instrument and multi-spacecraft
conjunctions, including TRACERS, THEMIS, MMS, REAL, ARASE, EZIE, and
other relevant space and ground-based observations, are strongly
encouraged. This session aims to advance a comprehensive understanding
of cusp electrodynamics, reconnection variability, and cross-scale
coupling, while fostering collaboration across the geospace science
community.</div><div><br></div><div>The deadline for submission is August 5th, 2026 at 23:59 EDT / 03:59 UTC.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for you time and consideration,</div><div><br></div><div>Roger Roglans (UCB/SSL) on behalf of the conveners: </div><div>Shirsh Soni (UIowa)</div><div>Hyunju Connor (GSFC)</div><div>Sarah Hendersen (UIowa)</div><br></div>
