We review recent progress in the large-scale modeling of the topology and dynamics of magnetic reconnection at Earth's dayside magnetopause. We use three-dimensional global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and large-scale kinetic (LSK) simulations to analyze reconnection events observed by multiple spacecraft. In particular, we examine the occurrence and consequences of magnetic merging at high-latitudes and in the subsolar region of the dayside magnetopause. We then use these results to discuss large-scale merging patterns and how high-energy ions could be used as tracers of the global topology of magnetic reconnection at Earth's dayside magnetopause.
