Kivelson (Margaret G.)

Margaret G. Kivelson is a notable American physicist recognized for her work in space science and planetary magnetism. She has contributed significantly to our understanding of magnetic fields in planets, particularly through her research on the magnetic environment of planets like Jupiter and Saturn, as well as their moons. Kivelson's work has enhanced our knowledge about how these celestial bodies interact with solar winds and the implications for their atmospheres and potential habitability. Her research has been pivotal in space missions, influencing both scientific understanding and exploration strategies in planetary science.
