Join us for 'Understanding the magnetic field' - a special BGS webinar with our geomagnetism team
Date: 26 March 2024 | 7PM to 8.30PM
The Earth's magnetic field has been measured in some form or another since the invention of the compass over 1000 years ago. However, the geomagnetic field is not static and changes with time and location. How do we accurately monitor this field? Why is this data so crucial and how does it protect us from the effects of space weather? This special webinar focuses on some of the cutting-edge geomagnetism research currently being undertaken at BGS.
The webinar will cover three areas of our research: monitoring the magnetic field, its applications in our everyday lives and mitigating against the effects of space weather. The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session, providing attendees with the opportunity to raise their questions with BGS geoscientists.
 BGS Strategy 2023 to 2028: Understanding our Earth
Humanity faces major global challenges that require recurrent and serious consideration by decision makers. BGS have developed a programme of science to meet societal needs, with a focus on four strategic priorities:
- producing maps and models for the 21st century
- supporting a more secure energy transition
- improving water security
- living with geological hazards
Through public engagement, we aim to inspire the wider community and inform societal debate and decisions on geological solutions to global challenges.
