Natural frontiers play a important role in the energy and momentum transfert between the solar wind and the planetary magnetosphere and/or between different regions within the magnetosphere itself. Intricated microscopic/macroscopic processes take place there over micro/meso/macro-scales. These processes are based on various nonlinear effects, nonstationary mechanisms and wave-particle interactions, which control the overall dynamics of these frontiers. The session welcomes presentations of recent results issued from theory, mono/multi-dimensional numerical simulations and experimental data obtained from various space missions The comparison between these approaches is possible thanks to high sampling rate of measurements obtained on board of recent multi-spacecraft missions (e.g. MMS) and to high resolution local/global simulations. Comparison with data issued from other missions are also encouraged. Applications include magnetospheric, ionospheric and space plasma physics Contributions related to these topics are very welcome. Typical boundary layers may include: (i) foreshocks regions/collisionless shocks, (ii) the magnetopause, (iii) plasma sheet currents, (iv) nearby/far magnetotail dynamics and dipolarisation front, (vi) potential drops in the ionosphere and cusp dynamics, and (vii) basic particle acceleration processes. Comparative analysis of results dedicated to terrestrial and planetary environments are also encouraged.
