IUGG ECSNet Project

The IUGG ECSNet (Early Career Scientists Network) project awarded to Katia Pinheiro aims to bring together the 8 associations under IUGG through early career involvement. The project has an ECS representative from each association and organises a 'How to get involved' Day which can provide more information. The first event was held on 3rd February 2025 and the next event will be on 3rd March. We hope you take this chance to know more about the associations and participate in it! Below is the 'How to get involved' pamphlet for IAGA.

IAGA Data and Products

IAGA has a database of products and services that are free and available to use for all scientists requiring it. Here are some of the latest links/updates on them which might be useful to the community-

IGRF: A very well known model that is updated every 5 years. The 14th model is now available, the details of which can be found in our previous blog.

INTERMAGNET: All your magnetic ground observatories list and its data can be accessed here. It also offers software tools most often used within the community.

ISGI: Database and updates on the various indices used in geomagnetism. It contains the list of magnetic events that can be extracted from the data available at INTERMAGNET.

PALEOMAGIA: database of Precambrian paleomagnetic data. Its website recently got updated which can be found on clicking the link.

MagIC: Magnetic Information Consortium which is an open digital data archive primarily for rock and paleomagnetic data.

There are several other databases and products, the details of which can be found on the IAGA website or here.

Publish your Geoscience Outreach

Do you work on outreach in Geosciences and are interested in publishing your work?

Frontiers is accepting submissions for their research topic 'Bridging Geoscience and Society: Enhancing Community Awareness and Involvement' and the manuscript summary deadline is April 30th 2025! The topic aims to explore critical themes that bridge scientific knowledge with community impact and emphasise the significance of natural hazards. The role of science outreach in promoting public awareness and engagement is vital and this initiative hopes to showcase that.

This approach seeks to enhance understanding and appreciation of Earth sciences, facilitating meaningful dialogue between researchers and the public. It aims to foster interest in geosciences by linking scientific research with the general public, ultimately contributing to a more informed society. 

Several article formats are accepted and the fees can be covered by the institutions that have partnered with Frontiers. For any questions, please feel free to visit the links or email or leave your questions in the comments below! Some of our IAGA ICEO members are involved in the project and they would be happy to clear your doubts.
