요약In this dissertation, I investigate the observational characteristics of 50 keV to ∼5 MeV electron and 50 keV to ∼2 MeV proton isotropy boundaries in Earth's magnetosphere. Viewed from Low Earth Orbit, the isotropy boundary (IB) is the magnetic latitude poleward of which persistently isotropic pitch-angle distributions (Jprec/Jperp ∼ 1) are first detected, representing a fundamental transition from an adiabatic "inner magnetosphere" to a non-adiabatic "outer magnetosphere." The IB is a near-instantaneous tracer of the equatorial magnetospheric field configuration, and provides a means to remote-sense its evolution under any geomagnetic conditions. Here, I use particle data from the ELFIN mission to characterize the IB distribution in local time, energy, geomagnetic activity, and ≥50 keV precipitation from isotropic particles. I find these IBs primarily exhibit negative energy-latitude dispersion patterns consistent with equatorialmagnetic field-line curvature (FLC) scattering, with a 10%-30% chance of any particular energy channel exhibiting mesoscale-embedded positive dispersion structures, associated with wave-particle interactions and localized Bz gradients. The lowest latitude and most energetic IBs were in the pre-midnight sector, consistent with the location of maximal cross-tail current-sheet thinning. I identify that electron and proton IBs form the lower-latitude boundary of an FLC-dominated transitionregion, separating the outer radiation belt/ring current from the inner edge of the plasma sheet ("PS2ORB" and "PS2RC"), resulting in perpetual loss of electrons and protons exceeding typical plasma sheet energies. I show this ≥50 keV precipitation is often sufficiently intense and distributed to produce ionization enhancements over a range of altitudes at auroral/sub-auroral latitudes. Lastly, I use the information-theoretic technique of Mutual Information (MI) to characterize the drivers of IB characteristics in the solar wind and magnetosphere. From these observables, I construct an empirical predictive model of IB properties, which had previously never been reported for electrons, and extends the previously reported 200 keV proton IB models up to MeV energies. These results demonstrate a deep connection between the IB latitude, particle precipitation, andthe evolution of the magnetosphere.
