Work conducted over the past four years on the plasma and magnetic field boundaries in the earth's magnetosphere and interplanetary space is reviewed. Studies of the structure and dynamics of bow shocks based largely on ISEE-1 and -2 measurments are discussed, together with intensive investigations of the particles and waves of the foreshock region, marked by various distributions of return ions reflected from the bow shock. Attention is briefly given to interplanetary shocks and the magnetosheath region, while research on the location, motion and structure and flux transfer events in the magnetopause and on the magnetospheric boundary layer is considered in detail. Evidence of reconnection in the magnetosphere is discussed, and studies of processes in the plasma sheet and neutral sheet in the magnetotail, the polar cusp and the injection of plasma into the inner magnetosphere are noted.
