AB - <jats:p>Titan’s ionosphere hosts a globally distributed non-trivial dustyion-ion plasma, providing an environment for studies of dustyionospheres that is in many aspects unique in our solar system. Thanksto the Cassini mission, Titan’s ionosphere also features one of thelargest dusty plasma datasets from 126 flybys of the moon over 13 years,from 2004 to 2017. Recent studies have shown that negatively chargeddust dramatically alters the electric properties of plasmas, inparticular planetary ionospheres. Utilizing the full plasma content ofthe moon’s ionosphere (electrons, positive ions and negative ions/dustgrains), we derive the electric conductivities and define the conductivedynamo region. Our results show that using the full plasma contentincreases the Pedersen conductivities at ~1300 kmaltitude by 20% compared to the earlier estimates without charged dust,while the Hall conductivities indicate a reverse Hall effect at~900 km altitude (closest approach) and below. Thedayside conductivities are shown to be factor ~7-9larger than on the nightside, owing to higher dayside plasma densities.</jats:p>
