Division of Geomagnetism and Space Physics
The Division of Geomagnetism and Space Physics seeks to develop new instruments, experimental techniques, and theoretical analyses to explore the space environments surrounding Earth, as well as those of the other planets in the Solar System. For Earth systems, the division has particular interests in the coupling processes among the geospace environment, the solid Earth, and other terrestrial spheres. In the Solar System, however, the unique intrinsic properties of the planets lead to distinct activities and variations in their space environments. Comparing and understanding these complex and interactive systems are among the other scientific goals of the division. The division continues to make great efforts toward building a research base of great international prestige for space and planetary physics.
