Proposed Changes to Margaret Kivelson's Page

[edit]

After researching Margaret Kivelson for quite some time, I was looking to update her page with the following changes.

Early Life Section Margaret G. Kivelson was born in New York City on October 21, 1928. Her father was a medical doctor and her mother had an undergraduate degree in physics from an institute where both Planck and Einstein were on the faculty (when Kivelson was older her mother later returned to school for a master's degree in education).[1] Kivelson knew in high school that she wanted to pursue a career in science, but was unsure whether she would be successful with the career. Her uncle advised her to become a dietitian knowing that a physical science career as a women would be hard, but she ignored this advice and began to study physics (source). Kivelson was accepted into Radcliffe College, Harvard’s women’s college in 1946, obtained her A.B. degree from Radcliffe in 1950, completed her master’s degree in 1952, and was awarded her Ph.D in physics from Harvard in 1957.[1]


Career Section Motivated by her experiences in academia through the Radcliffe Institute, Kivelson joined UCLA in 1967 as an assistant research geophysicist. Kivelson quickly climbed through the ranks within the geophysics and space physics community becoming a full professor at UCLA’s Department of Earth and Space Sciences in 1980. She chaired the Department of Earth and Space Sciences from 1984 to 1987 and in 1999 to 2000. From 1977 to 1983 Kivelson served on the Board of Overseers at Haributionvard College as well as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Advisory council from 1987 to 1993, the National Research Council’s Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Research from 1989 to 1992, and cochaired the UCLA Academic Faculty Senate’s Committee on Gender Equality issues from 1998 to 2000.[2] In 2009 she became a Distinguished Professor of Space Physics, Emerita and in 2010 she also took a position as a research professor at the University of Michigan.[2]


Scientific Contributions Kivelson has had a very successful career as a scientists with many publications and original work. Some of her accomplishments include discovering an internal magnetic field at Ganymede,[4] providing compelling evidence for a sub-surface ocean at Europa,[5] elucidating some of the processes explaining the behavior of ultralow frequency waves in the terrestrial magnetosphere[6], the discovery of cavity mode oscillations in the magnetosphere[3], developed new ways of describing wave-particle interactions in magnetohydrodynamic waves[4], and provided insight into the mechanism of interchange diffusion in rotating plasmas[5].


Awards • Guggenheim Fellowship (1973–74)[2] • Radcliffe Graduate Society Medal (1983)[6] • Harvard University’s 350th Anniversary Alumni Medal (1986) [7] • Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1989) [9] • Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (1992)[10] • NASA Group Achievement Award (1995, 1996)[8] • Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences (1999)[2] • Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1998)[2] • Fleming Medal of the American Geophysical Union (2005)[11] • Alfven Medal of the European Geophysical Union (2005)[9]
