Dr. Crooker (Ph.D., UCLA, 1972) is a Research Professor at the Center for Space Physics at Boston University. Her research contributions cover the range from magnetospheric to solar-heliospheric physics, with recent focus on solar wind topics like the heliospheric current sheet, interplanetary coronal mass ejections, and the use of suprathermal electrons as tracers of magnetic topology.

Dr. McPherron (Ph.D., UCB, 1968) has a Joint Appointment as a Professor of Space Physics in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences and the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California at Los Angeles. His research interests include ULF wave phenomena, magnetospheric substorms, magnetic substorms, solar wind-magnetosphere coupling, and space weather forecasting. His teaching includes topics in Space Plasma Physics and Exploration Geophysics. His current research focus includes studies of the modes of magnetospheric response to different states of the solar wind and the properties of the solar wind at 1 AU.

Dr. Richmond (Ph.D., UCLA, 1970) is a Scientist at the High Altitude Observatory of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. His research contributions have been primarily in the fields of thermospheric dynamics, ionospheric electrodynamics, and geomagnetism.

Dr. Kletzing (Ph.D., UCSD, 1989) is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Iowa. Dr. Kletzing.s research interests lie in the area of experimental space plasma physics, particularly the particle acceleration processes in the auroral zone and wave processes in the radiation belts. He also has an active experimental program in laboratory plasma physics to verify theoretical models of Alfven waves in a controlled setting.

Dr. Mazur (Ph.D., Univ. Maryland, 1991) is a scientist at The Aerospace Corporation. His research interests include solar energetic particle acceleration and transport; particles and fields in magnetospheres; and space environment effects on space systems.
