We report on the structure of the high-altitude cusp regions of the terrestrial magnetosphere, which has been the topic of numerous studies using the multispacecraft data from the ESA's Cluster mission. This summary of the 8 October 2004 RAS meeting focuses on the characteristics of the large-scale structure of these regions. We explore the role played by the cusps for solar wind plasma penetration and transport into the magnetosphere by examining the effects of the orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and of the occurrence of the magnetic reconnection process. We additionally emphasize, through the description of two selected techniques, the ability of the Cluster four-spacecraft measurements to resolve boundary dynamics and wave characteristics in an unprecedented fashion.
