The conference will deal with issues that are central to the
transport of mass, momentum, and energy into and through the
Earth's magnetosphere. Topics will include magnetotail transport,
transport through the inner magnetosphere, ionospheric
convection, plasmaspheric evolution, transport across boundaries,
sources and losses of plasma and energy, roles of microscale
processes, reconnection, turbulence, BBF's, and M-I coupling.

The conference will open with registration Sunday afternoon and
an icebreaker Sunday evening, September 19. The conference
