World Data Centre for geomagnetism, Edinburgh

The World Data Centre for Geomagnetism, Edinburgh is based at the Scottish headquarters of the British Geological Survey. We operate seven geomagnetic observatories worldwide and are active in scientific areas such as understanding and modelling the Earth's internal magnetic field and space weather. We are also active in international initiatives to help establish or upgrade geomagnetic observatories in developing countries and in remote locations. This work feeds into our role as a World Data Centre and our science benefits from our increasing data resource.
