| Citation | Margaret Kivelson has made seminal contributions to our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the magnetospheres of Earth, Jupiter and Saturn as well as of the properties of Jupiter's moons. Her leadership of the NASA Galileo magnetometer instrument led to her most influential contributions relating to Jupiter's icy moons, including the discovery of an intrinsic dynamo field and subsurface ocean at Ganymede and a liquid subsurface ocean at shallow depth at Europa. These discoveries have directly resulted in follow-on spacecraft missions to Jupiter's moons, the recently selected ESA JUICE mission to Ganymede and the upcoming NASA mission to Europa. |
