This workshop compares aspects of M/I Coupling on Earth with that of other planets. Its goal is to bring together the variety of expertise we use to understand our own space environment and use this to address outstanding questions related to other planets, and vice-versa. Brief introductions to comparative magnetospheres and aeronomy (of Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter) will be provided for context, followed by an open discussion of similarities and differences between M/I coupling of planetary bodies and Earth. In addition, we will discuss outstanding questions that we as a community would like to address.
