Margaret G. Kivelson
Margaret G. Kivelson (born 1928) is an American space physicist, planetary scientist, and Distinguished Professor Emerita of Space Physics at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her primary research interests include the magnetospheres of Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn.[1]
Career
Margaret G. Kivelson received a Ph.D. from Radcliffe College in 1957. She joined UCLA in 1967, became a full professor in 1980, and chaired the Department of Earth and Space Sciences from 1984 to 1987.[1]
Scientific contributions
Some of Kivelson's accomplishments include discovering an internal magnetic field at Ganymede,[2] providing compelling evidence for a sub-surface ocean at Europa,[3] and elucidating some of the processes explaining the behavior of ultralow frequency waves in the terrestrial magnetosphere.[4]
Kivelson has authored or co-authored over 350 publications that have accumulated over 11,000 citations.[5]
